RarGenie is a rogue application that supposedly eases the process of file compression. Initially, RarGenie may seem legitimate and useful, however, this app is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware. There are three main reasons for these negative associations: 1) stealth installation without consent; 2) display of intrusive advertisements, and; 3) monitoring of web browsing activity.

Thus, displayed ads often conceal underlying content, significantly diminishing the browsing experience. In addition, they often lead to malicious websites. Clicking them is risky and might result in further adware or malware infections.
