How to uninstall unwanted application designed to open applydatinghere.com?

What is applydatinghere[.]com?

Applydatinghere[.]com is similar to bennyaflickgotit[.]ga, anymorenews[.]com, checkrobotics[.]com, and many other rogue websites. The purpose of this page is to display dubious content and promote other pages of this kind.

Usually, pages like applydatinghere[.]com get opened by installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs), through shady advertisements and questionable pages. It is worthwhile to mention that users do not download and install PUAs knowingly, and apps of this kind often are designed to generate unwanted advertisements and (or) collect information about their users.

Typically, websites like applydatinghere[.]com open about two, three shady pages or display some questionable content. It depends on the visitor's geolocation.

It is important to mention that sites like applydatinghere[.]com can open pages like "Chance To Win The Brand New Playstation 5", "Your System Detected Some Unusual Activity", and other websites designed to trick visitors into downloading and installing unwanted applications (e.g., adware, browser hijackers), providing personal information (e.g., name, surname, credit card details), transferring money, etc.

Another important detail about these pages is that most of them use one or another clickbait technique to trick visitors into clicking the "Allow" button (into agreeing to receive their notifications). Applydatinghere[.]com shows a message asking visitors to click the "Allow" button to watch a video.

The problem with notifications from pages like applydatinghere[.]com is that most of them advertise untrustworthy pages, applications, phishing websites, etc. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to allow questionable pages to show their notifications.

As mentioned in the first paragraph, applydatinghere[.]com and other untrustworthy pages often are promoted through potentially unwanted applications. Apps of this kind can be designed to generate advertisements (e.g., coupons, banners, surveys, pop-up ads) as well.

Usually, their ads advertise shady websites. Although, sometimes, they can be used to trick users into casing unwanted downloads, installations. In such cases, those ads download or install unwanted software by running certain scripts.

Also, it is common that PUAs collect browsing-related data (e.g., IP addresses, entered search queries, addresses of visited pages, geolocations) or even personal details (e.g., credit card details, login credentials).

Depending on gathered information, it could be misused to steal accounts, make fraudulent purchases, transactions, or monetized in other ways. Therefore, it is strongly advisable not to have any PUAs installed on a browser or computer.

To sum up, applydatinghere[.]com is an untrustworthy website designed to trick visitors into allowing it to show notifications and promote other pages of this kind. If a browser opens pages like applydatinghere[.]com regularly, it is likely that it has a potentially unwanted application installed on it.

Apps of this kind cannot be trusted too. It is noteworthy that PUAs can be promoted as useful and legitimate applications. However, most of them are completely useless and can cause problems related to browsing safety, online privacy, or other issues.

In one way or another, users who have an app of this kind installed on a browser or computer should remove it as soon as possible.

How did adware install on my computer?

It is common that potentially unwanted apps are distributed by including them in downloaders or installers for other programs as extra offers. This distribution method is called "bundling".

In most cases, offers to download or install PUAs can be declined via "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings, or checkboxes that those downloaders, installers have. Users agree to download or install PUAs when they do not change the aforementioned settings (or leave certain checkboxes ticked).

Another deceptive way to trick users into downloading or installing PUAs is to design advertisements to run certain scripts. However, users unknowingly download and (or) install PUAs through those ads only if they click on them. In most cases, such ads appear on dubious pages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to download programs (and files) from official pages and via direct links. Therefore, third-party downloaders (or installers), Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule, etc.), questionable, unofficial pages, etc., should be used. The main reason why they should not be trusted is because they can be used to distribute unwanted, even malicious applications.

Also, it is advisable to check downloaders and installers for bundled applications. Usually, those applications can be found in "Advanced", "Custom" or other settings, or near checkboxes.

Additionally, it is recommended not to trust advertisements on questionable pages. Quite often, ads that appear on such sites are designed to promote other sites of this kind and can cause unwanted downloads, or even installations.

Unwanted, unknown extensions, plug-ins, or add-ons installed on a web browser should be removed. The same should be done with programs of this kind installed on the operating system.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
