Rad Raven’s official web page is identical to the web pages of other ad-supported applications like Browser Gloss, EnterDigital, AppEnable, and many others.

One such method is known as software bundling and it involves silent installation of additional applications. This occurs when you download freeware from unreliable sources. Rad Raven can also be acquired when you open spam email attachments or when you click ads found on suspicious web pages or caused by another adware program.

Thus, if actually agree to download any program or use a coupon to buy something at a lower price, you will probably end up installing malware or purchasing a non-existing item. The reason for this is that Rad Raven is sponsored by anonymous third parties and the displayed ads represent the content of these third parties. You will notice that although some of the ads are quite random, others will seem as if they were custom-made for you.
