DatingDone Removal Guide

DatingDone is an unreliable desktop application that you should forget about if you want to find love online. This program claims to enable you to find your next date through your desktop, but, unfortunately, we found potentially unreliable third-party content instead of love while using and testing this tool. As a matter of fact, we have categorized it as an adware program because it has the capabilities to promote third-party websites and advertisements. These are not only annoying, though, but they can also present certain system security risks for you and your computer. But this adware is not even the only issue you need to tackle. It is quite likely that you will find a number of other malware infections on your computer. Leaving these untouched could slow down your computer, your Internet connection speed, but your system might also crash before long. Therefore, we believe that you should remove DatingDone as soon as possible to save yourself from the unnecessary headaches.

You can find the promotional website of this software at datingdone.com. However, we have found that you cannot even finish loading this page if you have a proper security tool installed. This would definitely stop you from even wanting to download this application because you would know right away that it may be an unreliable tool. But it is quite unlikely that you have ever visited this page, so let us tell you what we find worrisome about it. First of all, this official and rather primitive webpage contains third-party ads. This is quite annoying and you should not even trust these ads. One click could redirect you to unreliable websites; therefore, we really do not advise you to do so. Another, even more dangerous, thing is that the installer available on this page is packed with several malicious installers and potentially unwanted programs as well. Thus, you may find Sweet-page.com, MyPcBackUp, and Yoursearching.com on your computer after installing DatingDone. But do not be surprised if you find other infections instead, because it is possible that these programs change according to your location. One thing does not change, though, and it is how you should act if you find such a pack on your computer. Obviously, you need to remove DatingDone and every other potentially harmful application as well.

Reports show that this official page may not even be the main distribution source for this adware. In fact, it is quite possible that you click on a corrupt third-party pop-up advertisement or a manipulated search result link and this is how you infect your computer. This way it is also likely that you download a whole bundle of infections instead of just one single adware program. These alternative routes, of course, require the presence of adware and browser hijacker infections on your PC. So it is quite clear now that no matter how this adware has infiltrated your computer, there must be several threats on board. Removing DatingDone will clearly not save the day, although it is definitely the first step towards success.

We have discovered that this adware is a new clone of a number of ad-supported desktop applications that have shown up in recent months, including ByteMovie, FreebieForth, and QuantumCoupons. This application has its own graphical user interface or window that it opens when you start it. This window displays a big logo at the top and below it a usually legitimate website, such as download.safepcrepair.com/index.jhtml?partner=^AW7^xdm326&sub_id=316650_3631. However, this application may inject affiliated advertisements into these pages. Furthermore, it may also launch an Internet Explorer window with the same page or even advertising pages. All in all, we have found this application totally unnecessary and useless since you are better off using a proper and reputable browser to do the same instead of this questionable program. You should know that third-party content is always risky to click on because even cyber criminals may exploit such applications and show you ads taking advantage of the low security level of these tools. Therefore, if you click on the wrong ad, you may end up on a malicious website. If you do not want to cause more security issues to your computer, it is best to remove DatingDone right away.

In order to clean this adware from your PC, you can use our guide below. We have included two methods; an easy and a more advanced one. In the first case, you are supposed to run the uninstaller through Control Panel. In the second case, you need to do everything manually. Please only try the manual instructions if you consider yourself an experienced user. If you want to stop malware infections invading your computer, we advise you to surf more safely or better yet, install a reliable malware removal application to protect your system.
