What is yourlifedate[.]com?
Similar to nlighttomayorw.info, new-incoming.email, ritteddelibacyca.info and many others, yourlifedate[.]com is a rogue website. It presents users with dubious content and/or redirects them to other untrustworthy and malicious websites.
Few visitors enter yourlifedate[.]com willingly - most are redirected by intrusive ads or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already present on the system.
Note that these apps do not require express permission to be installed onto devices. After successful infiltration, however, PUAs generate redirects, deliver intrusive advertisements and record browsing-related information.
The behavior of yourlifedate[.]com is determined by visitors' geolocations. It learns this information by checking their IP addresses. According to the geolocations, visitors are redirected elsewhere or presented with specific, dubious material.
Furthermore, this web page employs browser notifications, the consent option to which is disguised within 'clickbait' ("Press 'Allow', to watch video"). If users fall for this trick and permit notifications, yourlifedate[.]com then begins running intrusive ad campaigns.
The delivered ads (e.g. pop-ups, banners, coupons, surveys, etc.) are more than just a nuisance, they are also a safety threat due to the untrustworthy, deceptive/scam and malicious sites to which they redirect, and for their ability to execute scripts to stealthily download/install content.
A prime example of content proliferated in this manner are PUAs. As mentioned, unwanted applications force-open likewise harmful pages and can run ad campaigns - the latter achieved by implementing tools to enable third party graphics to be displayed on any site.
Therefore, the delivered ads diminish the browsing experience (by limiting browsing speed and website visibility) and possess the aforementioned capabilities. PUAs commonly track data. Information of interest includes, but is not limited to, IP addresses, browsing and search engine histories, geolocations and other personal details.
The data can then be shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) intent on misusing it for profit. To summarize, PUAs can lead to various browser and system infiltration/infections, financial loss, serious privacy issues and even identity theft. To protect device and user safety, remove all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

In general, all PUAs tend to be similar. The software typically seems legitimate and often lures people to install with offers of "useful" features.
Despite how good those offers may sound, the advertised functions are rarely operational. The sole purpose of PUAs is to generate revenue for the developers. These applications cause redirects to untrustworthy and malicious web pages, run intrusive ad campaigns and collect sensitive data.
How did adware install on my computer?
PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other programs. This deceptive marketing technique of pre-packing normal software with unwanted or malicious products is called "bundling".
By rushing through download/installation processes (skimming or ignoring terms, skipping steps, using presets, etc.), users risk unintentionally allowing bundled programs onto their systems. Select apps within the this classification have "official" download sites. When clicked, intrusive ads can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' consent.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
You are advised to research all content, before downloading/installing. Use only official and verified download channels. Download sources such as P2P sharing networks (BitTorrent, Gnutella, eMule, etc.), free file-hosting websites and other third party downloaders are untrustworthy.
These channels are far more likely to offer deceptive and/or bundled software. When downloading/installing, read the terms, study all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of additional apps, tools, functions and so on.
Intrusive advertisements usually seem legitimate and harmless, however, they often redirect to dubious pages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating and others).
If you encounter ads/redirects of this type, inspect the device and immediately remove all suspicious applications and/or browser extensions/plug-ins. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
