Ads by Royal Raid

What is Royal Raid?

Developed by SuperWeb LLC, Royal Raid is a deceptive application claiming to significantly improve the Internet browsing experience by enabling a number of valuable features - "We're passionate about improving web by providing the best tools to enhance the browsing experience, from searching the web to comparing online deals to find the best prices. We've combined all of our great ideas into the Royal Raid product suite, a FREE set of tools that work to make your browsing experience... better!" 

These false claims are simply attempts to trick users into believing that this app is legitimate. In fact, due to its rogue behavior, Royal Raid is classed as an adware-type potentially unwanted program (PUP), since it infiltrates systems without users’ permission, generates intrusive online advertisements, and collect various browsing-related information.

The types of intrusive online advertisements generated by Royal Raid include pop-up, interstitial, transitional, full-page, banner, search, coupon, and price comparison. Royal Raid employs a 'virtual layer' to generate these ads, none of which originate from users' visited websites.

By concealing underlying content, these advertisements significantly diminish the Internet browsing experience. Furthermore, some redirect to malicious websites that may contain infectious content - clicking them risks further adware or malware infections.

Furthermore, information gathered by Royal Raid (IP addresses, unique identifier numbers, website URLs visited, pages viewed, and search queries) might be personally identifiable. Developers of Royal Raid share recorded information with third party companies who are likely to misuse it to generate revenue.

Tracking of personal data can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. For these reasons, Royal Raid should be uninstalled immediately.

Royal Raid Privacy Policy statement regarding data collection:

We only share or sell your non-public personal information with non-affiliated third parties when we believe doing so is permitted by you or authorized by this Privacy Policy. In addition, the Company may share your personal information with our parent, subsidiary or affiliate companies without restriction.

There are tens of identical potentially unwanted programs designed by SuperWeb LLC including, for example, Triangle Trail, Fresh Outlook, SmartShop, and Bronze Aid. Although these applications claim to enhance the Internet browsing experience, none provide users with any real value.

Apps such as Royal Raid are developed to generate revenue for the developers - they merely display intrusive online advertisements (using the 'Pay Per Click’ [PPC] advertising method) and collect personally identifiable information (which is later sold to third party companies).

How did Royal Raid install on my computer?

Royal Raid is free for anyone to download on its official website, however, it is also distributed using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' (stealth installation of potentially unwanted programs with regular software/apps).

Therefore, many users install this application inadvertently, since they do not pay enough attention during the download/installation processes - they skip most/all steps unaware that rogue software is often concealed within the 'Custom/Advanced' settings. This behavior often leads to inadvertent installation of rogue software such as Royal Raid.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Installation of adware-type applications can be prevented by closely analyzing each step of the software download and installation processes. Use the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings, rather than 'Quick' or 'Typical', since bundled software (that should be cancelled) is mostly concealed. Additionally-included software is commonly malicious and, therefore, should never be installed.
