Rock Turner Ads

It is an adware program that makes use of tracking cookies to collect data on your web browsing habits. Once it has collect enough information, Rock Turner Ads processes it and then generates various shopping coupons and discount offers based on what you search for online. It is not illegal or too dangerous, but security experts suggest removing Rock Turner Ads from the computer, because in the long run pop-up ads may expose you to potentially malicious content.

If you have encountered similar applications before, you will definitely know that the download link at the official home page does not work. Rock Turner Ads face the same situation as Ttessab, Surftastic, Laflurla and other similar applications, in that all of them have official home pages, but if we try clicking the download button there, we will be redirected to a blank page.

It leaves us with another method of distribution, namely – bundled downloads. In fact, all adware programs form SuperWeb family are usually distributed together with freeware applications. It means that each time you are about to download a program from a third party file hosting website, you need to be sure that the program in question is not bundled with Rock Turner Ads or any similar adware application.

Therefore, you can never know what website you will land on when you click Rock Turner Ads. It may be yet another commercial website. Such websites often try to increase their traffic count, because this way they can generate financial profit.

    Same problem as Jeremy B. It gets about 1/3 of the way through the uninstall process and then stops.
