Reverse Page is categorized as an adware application due to its intrusive behavior when installed on your PC. In fact, this adware is not so dangerous itself, however, as soon as it infects the system, the application slows down your computer, floods your monitor with multiple advertisements and threatens your personal security.
The commercial advertisements shown by the adware application are provided by untrusted third parties whose origin is unfamiliar. Thus, you should ignore these ads the moment you notice them and remove Reverse Page from your PC without any hesitation. Actually, deleting the adware program is the only way to get rid of the intrusive commercials and to protect your system from malware.
The official website of Reverse Page is reversepage.com, however, if you try to download the application, you will find out that the link for download is not active. It means that the adware program has been installed on your computer in some other way. In fact, it is very likely that you have setup Reverse Page by yourself. This usually happens when you install other freeware on the system because adware often travels in software bundles.
During the installation process of the new application, computer users usually do not read the terms and conditions provided by the setup wizard and agree to everything in a hurry. Unfortunately, the result is letting malware in their virtual machines, without even realizing it at first. Nevertheless, when the numerous pop-ups start showing up persistently, it is certain that a potentially unwanted program is already present on your virtual machine.
Reverse Page belongs to the well-known SuperWeb family of adware applications, thus the program is not much different from the other family members. Its predecessors, Key Lime Lizard, Rad Rater, Malt Mark, etc, have been distributed using the same method as well. So, the official website of Riverse Page is just a scam, created to deceive users that the application is legitimate.
As soon as Reverse Page infects your PC, it adds extensions to the major web browsers – Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome (not including the newest Google Chrome versions which block Reverse Page for security reasons). In any case, what you should know is that Reverse Page is capable of accessing your personal information, thus it seriously threatens your security.
Reverse Page is programmed to monitor your virtual activity and to record your browsing history in order to provide you with customized advertisements which will certainly provoke your interests. Every click on a displayed add gains profit for the third parties hiding behind the adware application. This is the only way for Reverse Page to survive.
If you don’t want to risk your personal security and share private data with unreliable third parties, you must remove Reverse Page from your computer right away. In this way, the suspicious advertisements will be immediately terminated.
