Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net

Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net is part of a cached content delivery service that malware experts previously associated with pop-up attacks. Like a second sub-domain with shared hosting at Akamaihd.net, Rvzr-a.akamaihd.net, which was examined back in late September, is often used to deliver unwanted advertisements and other Web content. Considering that, it's no surprise that its past also is full of evidence of Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net being used by adware programs that install themselves through free software bundles. Since these advertisements may be sourced of attacks against your PC and have a negative influence on your Web-browsing experiences, you normally shouldn't even bother to pause between seeing Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net pop-ups and trying to uninstall the associated adware.

Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net: An Advertisement Delivery Site that's Too Clever for Its Own Good

With a domain name referencing the Hawaiian word for a quick wit, you might expect Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net to use unorthodox and creative methods of distributing its third party content. Unfortunately, the closest signs of such that have been identified by malware researchers are its frequency of being used by adware products on a non-consensual basis, particularly by Bettersurf. These browser add-ons load pop-up advertisements for Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net, Rvzr-a.akamaihd.net and other advertisement-based sites without giving you control for determining how they load.

Malware researchers often find such methods of advertising to be closely tied to attempts to attack the affected computer. Malware bundled in fake software updates, fraudulent system warnings that promote the services of scamware products and phishing attacks are the three most common advertisement-based PC threats, based on current evidence. Some of these attacks also may use script exploits to install risky software automatically. Based on Bettersurf's previous use of JavaScript content to load some of its third party pop-ups, you may want to disable that feature while you're dealing with Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net pop-ups or other suspect pop-ups; doing so will provide some basic protection from these drive-by-downloads.

Sailing Your Browser Far from Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net Pop-Ups

Even without Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net having the official classification of a compromised website, letting its pop-ups load constantly is more likely to be a danger to your computer than otherwise, and deleting Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net adware, whether Bettersurf or another add-on is its basis, always is in your best interests. Since Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net adware often includes browser settings changes that may harm the underlying safety of your PC without discernible symptoms, you should consider using anti-adware or anti-malware products whenever deleting Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net adware is needed.

As far avoiding a Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net adware problem to begin with, malware researchers often find these Potentially Unwanted Programs are most frequently installed through unnecessarily risky downloading behavior. If you install products from sites that have a history of distributing undesirable software, install programs without looking at the available options and fail to read any TOU texts, your chances of dealing with Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net adware jolt upward. Of course, these warnings also apply to other adware products and Web domains.
