LowRate Removal Guide

Do you know what LowRate is?

LowRate is an adware application you surely do not need on your system if you are not a fan of commercial content on your web browser. However, this is not the main reason why users choose to remove this application the moment they notice a spike in third-party ads on their screens. As a clone of RightCoupon, RealDeal, SaveOn, other adware programs, it possesses such negative characteristics as intrusive behavior and a tendency to engage in suspicious activities or serve unreliable content. As you can see, LowRate might be only an advertising-supported program, but it can present a wide array of problems for your system, which is why it is best that you delete this app right now. Read this article to learn why delaying to neutralize LowRate might not be your best choice security-wise.

The minute LowRate steps into your system, it utilizes tracking cookies and other tools to gather as much information about your online browsing tastes as possible. All this data is then processed to shape the third-party commercial content that manifests itself in random pop-ups, banners, coupon offers, and other advertising distractions. First of all, there is a possibility that LowRate might be misused by cyber criminals to collect information that is potentially more sensitive, so you should remove this adware app the minute you learn about its presence. Besides that, adware programs are notoriously irresponsible in terms of the third-party content they promote, which is even legally acceptable. In other words, LowRate does not ensure that the featured third-party ads (products, services, online games, software updates, etc.) promote legitimate content. So, you should remove this adware program because it might serve you unreliable links that can reroute you to unsafe malware-filled sites overseen by malicious entities.

LowRate is no different from other adware in a sense that it is not distributed via any direct channels. Instead, it sneaks onto target systems hidden among other software, usually freeware or shareware programs distributed on third-party file sharing sites. You should look out for the malicious InstallRex installers (sometimes Amonetize or Vittalia) as they are known to deploy not only LowRate, but additional malicious applications or utilities. It is best that you steer clear of any sites that distribute unlicensed content, because even clicking on embedded download buttons can introduce an infection into your system.

Since LowRate was not created to guarantee you a more blissful computer experience, we think you should remove it right away. You can do it both manually (from Control Panel; see the instructions below) and automatically (with the help of software). We recommend that you choose the second option because it is the only way to guarantee your computer is malware-free. Remember, the presence of professional antimalware software on your system might be the only thing your PC lacks to build an impregnable security wall.
