Dotdo is a potentially unwanted adware program. It’s incredibly deceptive as it manages to sneak into your system undetected. It slithers its way in through slyness and subtlety and then wreaks all kinds of havoc and causes all sorts of damages. Once the application latches onto your computer, issues pile up almost instantaneously. Shortly after infiltration, the tool starts a bombardment of pop-up ads. Each and every time you try to use your browser, you’ll be interrupted by a never-ending waterfall of pop-ups. Since the ads will show up and disturb you quite regularly, their continuous appearance will lead to frequent system crashes and a slower computer performance. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg of the issues to come. The tool’s pop-ups are highly unreliable. They pose a grave malware threat because if you click on even a single ad, by choice or accident, you’ll unwillingly agree to install more malevolent tools without even realizing it. Furthermore, Dotdo also presents you with a severe security risk. The application spies on you in an attempt to steal your personal and financial information and hand it to strangers with malevolent agendas. Make no mistake! If you don’t take immediate actions towards the removal of this hazardous infection, it WILL succeed! Do what’s best for you and your computer, and get rid of Dotdo as soon as you first become aware of its presence. You won’t regret it.

How did I get infected with?

Dotdo relies on the old but gold methods of invasion to gain access to your system. The program is extremely resourceful and masterful in the arts of deceit, which is why it has no problem fooling you into permitting its installation. In fact, the application is so greatly skilled in its trickery that it not only successfully dupes you into approving its install, but also manages to keep you oblivious to the fact that you did. More often than not, this malevolent program sneaks in undetected by hitching a ride with freeware as it provides possibly the easiest access point. That’s because, for some reason, users seem to think it’s okay NOT to pay nearly as enough attention as they should during its installation. They rush the whole process and don’t even bother reading the terms and conditions. Instead, they choose to agree to everything and hope for the best. Well, that’s a horrendous idea with horrible repercussions. But by the time they realize the error of their ways, the damage is already done. Don’t allow haste, naivety, and distraction to guide you for they’ll only lead you to regret! Be more careful, and remember that a little extra attention can go a long, long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Dotdo bombards you with so many pop-ups for a reason, and that reason is that the program is ad-supported. If you’re unsure of what that means exactly, it’s quite straightforward. If the tool is to proceed with its operations, it’s required to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the unknown third parties behind it. If it fails to do so, it ceases to exist. Since it’s crucial for the application to trick you into clicking on its ads, it leaves nothing to chance! After all, each ad it fools you into clicking is profit for these individuals. To increase its likelihood of success, Dotdo spends some time getting to know you better. Instead of just flooding you with random pop-ups, it studies you. It observes your online habits so as to understand what you like and dislike. After it’s able to determine what your preferences include, the waterfall of “appropriate” ads begins! The ads you see are chosen specifically for you, and you alone. The tool bombards you only with ads it feels will spark your interest and result in a click, i.e. cash. But unless you wish to end up installing more malware without even realizing it, do NOT click on these pop-ups! Do your best to ignore them. Unfortunately, the application doesn’t merely monitor your browsing. Dotdo keeps a thorough record of every move you make. When it determines it has gathered enough data from you, it sends it to the people behind it. Are you willing to hand your private life to malevolent strangers with wicked agendas? Don’t take such a tremendous gamble! Do what’s best for you and your computer, and delete Dotdo as soon as you possibly can!
