What is InsightDating?

InsightDating is not actually what you would call a dating application as it simply loads a few different and not that popular websites where you are supposed to find your match. Probably, that is because the program is another recently created adware. It simply drops some unknown dating pages that need advertising and displays other not related ads and offers, which lead to untrustworthy third-party websites. Also, security specialists are concerned about the possibility of privacy violation while interacting with the InsightDating’s shown content. Under these circumstances, it would be smart to avoid advertisements from the application or delete it from your system. If you want to learn more about the adware or find out how to remove it from your computer, you should read the full article. test test test

Where does InsightDating come from?

The application can be downloaded from the official InsightDating web page, but it might be bundled with different adware or potentially unwanted programs. Our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com recorded that it could be the following software: Search Know, Sweet-page.com, System Healer, etc. Moreover, it could also show up in your search results as they might be modified by a browser hijacker that was installed earlier on your computer. In this case, it would be wise to clean up your system with a reliable security tool, which could locate the unwanted software and delete it automatically.

How does InsightDating work?

After the installation, InsightDating will open a separate window with its logo on top and the rest of the space will be filled with one of the dating sites the adware promotes, e.g. matchseniors.com. Also, the program can open browser windows without your knowledge. Usually, it launches various links to third party web pages. For example, it could redirect you to lamphouseoffers.com/redirect.php?sid=BMS&message=Please%20wait or display a survey from a casino.

Naturally, the ads and links differ depending on the region you live in. Some of the content could be targeted directly at you as InsightDating, and the third-party websites collect information about your browsing habits. Although it could gather your personal information too if you type it in yourself in one of the displayed surveys, etc. Clearly, you have to be very careful when you land on the site belonging to a third party. While reading the application’s Privacy Policy, you can come across this information: “We or our data providers may also read/recognize the cookies on your browser as well. The cookies may contain demographic data, or other data, linked to information that you voluntarily submitted to us, e.g., your email address.” This only proves that the software will violate your privacy if you give it a chance.

How to remove InsightDating?

As it seems, the program has lots of flaws and nothing beneficial for you. If you are looking for a unique dating application you should delete this one and look for other ones. InsightDating can be removed via Control Panel, but as we said before, there is a chance that you have more unwanted software that you should erase too. It is possible to get rid of them on your own, but it might be hard to identify and locate all untrustworthy programs. Therefore, it would be easier to install a legitimate antimalware tool that would do all the job for you.
