Romancedating[.]top and potentially unwanted applications in general
Romancedating[.]top and similar websites are promoted through other pages of this kind, potentially unwanted applications (and) or untrustworthy advertisements. Most PUAs are promoted through shady pages as well. They are called PUAs because most users download and install them unknowingly.
How did adware install on my computer?
Users download or install PUAs through downloaders or installers for other software, ads that run certain scripts, or fake installers. Downloaders and installers used to distribute PUAs have "Custom", "Advanced", or other settings. Users need to change them before downloading or installing software.
If the settings mentioned above are not changed, then PUAs get downloaded or installed alongside software that is bundled with them. Most ads and fake installers used to distribute PUAs are displayed or promoted on deceptive websites.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Applications should not be downloaded from Peer-to-Peer networks, unofficial websites, via third-party downloaders, or other sources of this kind. Files and programs should be downloaded only from official pages and via direct download links.
Programs should not be downloaded or installed without checking their downloaders or installers for settings that could be used to decline unwanted offers. Advertisements appearing on shady websites should not be clicked as well.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
