RevJet is a legitimate plugin classified as a PUP (potentially unwanted program) by security analysts because of the various marketing materials it displays as the user browses the web. RevJet is promoted as smart cloud-based installer that will suit all of the user’s needs. RevJet is added to the user’s web browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.) together with other free software downloaded online. RevJet is not malicious by nature, but the browser plugin is known to introduce annoying advertisements in the web pages you visit and cause privacy-related issues. These disadvantages of the otherwise legitimate application are the reason malware experts recommend the removal of RevJet from your machine.
Once active, RevJet displays numerous deals, coupons and offers in the websites you visit. The presented third-party advertisements may link you to potentially unsafe web pages and expose your system to security risks. The application itself assumes no responsibility for the content of the sites you get redirected to after you’ve clicked on the pop-ups it promotes.
RevJet may cause unpermitted browser settings changes and assign your Search engine, homepage and new tab page to certain websites filled with sponsored links and ads.
To deliver relevant advertising content, RevJet may track your IP address, browsing sessions and search queries. The application may share this data with third parties for questionable purposes.
