Remove Royal Raid

Royal Raid is an advertising software or adware, which means the only goal it has is to show as many ads as possible in our browsers.

Royal Raid is installed at the same time as some free software whose editor counts on people’s habit of not reading what install process warn of when they execute them. This is how it manages to quietly attach itself to many freeware. Usually it says something along these lines:

Add Royal Raid’s tools to your browsers, including price comparison charts, coupons, sponsored search results, assessment and/or website recommendations and exclusive offers. Before installing Royal Raid make sure you understand the confidentiality agreement and licence contract. Royal Raid is an advertising free tool. Royal Raids ads are in no way affiliated to websites you visit. Royal Raid collects information and data about your browsing that will be shared with others for advertising purposes among others.  If you don’t want to get all these ads or you prefer your data to remain private, do not install Royal Raid. After being installed, Royal Raid will modify your browser’s settings and might add or update several functions. You might need to restart your computer to finish the install process. Royal Raid can be uninstalled by means of the usual Add/Remove programs feature on Windows.

Those explanations are pretty straight forward, an no user will install Royal Raid after actually reading them.

The only thing where they bend the truth is regarding the Add/Remove programs feature which in fact is not enough to remove Royal Raid. That’s why we recommend free tools to remove it.
