About Roll Around adware

The program works as a browser add-on that can be added to all most popular web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari. This means Apple users can get infected as well. Even though Roll Around is described as a useful application that will help you to save both your time and money when shopping online by providing you with various links, deals and coupons, this is not true. All those deals and coupons are displayed in an annoying manner of web advertisements, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, contextual or banner advertisements. A new tab or even window can be opened on your web browser as well. The ads appear completely randomly, from time to time, so it’s really annoying and disturbing.

Usually you can notice advertisements displayed by Roll Around on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon. You will be offered to purchase some particular goods at an appealing price rate. Don’t fall for that trick – usually those offers are fake, they’re just trying to win your attention and make you click on those advertisements this way. And we don’t recommend you to do that.

If it happens so that you click on one of those advertisements displayed by Roll Around, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that may be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money if you attempt to purchase something there.

Another unwanted attribute of Roll Around is data collection. Once installed it will collect various information about you, such as your browsing history, search queries, most visited sites or even your IP and email addresses. The third parties adjust those advertisements according to the collected data and make them even more relevant and attractive to you based on your browsing habits this way, so chances that you will click on one of those advertisements rise. And that’s the main goal of Roll Around – its owners get paid for every click you make.

Distribution Methods of Roll Around

Roll Around is distributed bundled with other free applications, such as various media players or PDF generators. I.e. when you download and install such an application, there is a chance that Roll Around will be installed alongside without you even being aware of that. To avoid this happening, pay a close attention to the installation process of freebies.

Never skip any steps and always opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. This way you will be able to see all available options and make changes. Reading all terms and conditions would be considered wise as well. Don’t rush, because some of the most important information can be displayed in a very tiny font and you don’t want to overlook that. If you notice that some additional software that you are not aware of is being installed alongside – do not allow this to happen because it can possibly be Roll Around or any other adware.
