DatingDone

If you are not done dating, it is possible that you are looking for an application like DatingDone to help you find Mr. or Mrs. Right; however, we must warn you that this desktop software may not deliver you the date of your life on a silver plate. Instead, you may be presented with potentially harmful web content. We have classified this software as an adware application and realized that DatingDone is a new member in a growing family of ad-supported programs, including WeatherGrind, DraftFactor, and PocketRebates. These programs are based on identical principles. Obviously, the main reason behind an adware application is to make easy money through promoting third parties. Unfortunately, this type of adware comes with a price. Even the official installer contains a number of threats packed together, which is rather suspicious behavior. But there are other questionable ways, too, in which this adware is spread across the web. If you want order on your computer, you should delete DatingDone immediately.

There are in fact a number of ways in which this useless ad-supported program can sneak onto your system. First and foremost, it can be downloaded by clicking on fake download offer pop-up ads. These ads can generally come from two sources. It is possible that your system was previously penetrated by adware and this infection is responsible for the malicious advertisement. But you may also visit an unfamiliar and shady file-sharing website where you may be presented with this pop-up. We have also found that yet another way could be that you click on unreliable search results. This can happen when you have a browser hijacker on board and you perform a web search through the promoted search engine. It is quite obvious that if you notice DatingDone on board, there could be several other malware threats as well. You should run a trustworthy malware scanner to determine how many other infections you may be facing. But first, you should definitely remove DatingDone.

We cannot forget about the official channel either since this adware actually has a promotional webpage, datingdone.com. There are a couple of suspicious things about this page that needs to be mentioned here. First of all, you will find a few third-party ads on this page, which are not only annoying but they may well be risky to click on, too. However, this is not even the bigger issue. Unfortunately, the downloader of this program is actually a bundle. This bundle seems to contain several infections, which is quite an unfortunate blow to your system security if you happen to install it. We have found that this downloader may pack adware programs, potentially unwanted programs, and browser hijackers together, including MyPcBackUp, Search Know, and System Healer. These infections can change according to regions. We believe that it is quite clear that you cannot leave any of these threats on board if you want to safely use your computer. That is why we suggest that you remove DatingDone and all other related malware infections, too.

When you run this program, it opens its window and loads mostly legitimate dating-related websites, such as download.safepcrepair.com/index.jhtml?partner=^AW7^xdm326&sub_id=316650_3631. It is possible that this is the same website that you will find redirected to if you download this adware from its official webpage, which, by the way, is rather simplistic. We have noticed that this application may also open an Internet Explorer browser window with this very same website, but it may also annoy you with third-party ads or offer and advertising-related websites. We believe that it is not safe to engage with any content that comes from this application as you may end up on questionable or downright malicious websites. This may result in more malware infections on your computer or you may also get scammed and lose your money. We do not think that you want to experience any of these; therefore, you should act now and delete DatingDone.

We hope that you see what we see and you can make up your mind about this useless adware. If you are ready to get rid of it, you will be happy to learn that it is indeed quite an easy thing to do. Since this adware has a working uninstaller, you can simply activate it via Control Panel. If you have never done that before, please follow our instructions below this article. We are also offering you a manual removal if you are an experienced user. This method requires editing your Windows registry; therefore, you need to be careful not to make a mistake. If you want to make sure that your PC is all clean and stays that way, we recommend that you install a proper anti-malware application as soon as possible to safeguard your system.
