This adware will display various advertisements, in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, contextual and banner advertisements. They appear completely randomly, from time to time, so it’s really annoying. Usually you can spot them on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon. There you will be offered to purchase some particular goods or services at a very appealing price rate. However, don’t fall for that, usually it’s just a trick to win your attention and make you click on one of those advertisements. If you do so, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that may be owned by cyber criminals, such as hackers and scammers. This might result in your computer getting infected or in case you attempt to purchase something there, you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

The third parties adjust those advertisements according to the collected data and make them look even more relevant and interesting to you based on your browsing habits, so chances that you will click on one of those advertisements rise. And that’s the main goal of RapidyWeb because its creators get paid for every click you make on those advertisements.

Distribution Methods of RapidyWeb

RapidyWeb is travelling bundled with other free applications, such as various media players or PDF generators. For instance, when you download and install some freebie from the Internet, there is a chance that this malware will be installed alongside without you even being aware of that. So to protect yourself, you should avoid downloading software from unreliable looking websites. In case you really need some particular program and the only way to get it is to download it from a website with a questionable reputation, be really attentive during the installation. Do not skip any steps and always opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. This will allow you to access all available options and make changes.
