What is Video Dimmer?
Video Dimmer is an adware application that promises to provide you with a relevant and useful service. It says that it can improve your online video streaming experience by “dimming out” the lights. One would think that it is a rather interesting and dynamic function, but let’s not forget that most of the online players have a full view function which renders Video Dimmer’s service obsolete. On top of that, this application is associated with a variety of potential computer security issues, and you definitely cannot overlook that. The bottom line is that you have to remove Video Dimmer from your computer immediately.

Where does Video Dimmer come from?
There are two main methods of distribution applied this application. According to our research, Video Dimmer is very similar to Health Alert, Finance Alert, Celebrity Alert, and other adware applications from the same group. This means that Video Dimmer clearly gets distributed in bundles. That is to say, users download Video Dimmer onto their computers willingly even if they do not understand it. Video Dimmer generally comes with other freeware applications that are promoted on third-party file sharing websites.
Bundled freeware downloads is clearly the main distribution method applied by Video Dimmer, but it is also possible to download the application directly at videodimmertool.com. Users seldom come across the main adware websites, so we assume that it is a lot more common that Video Dimmer gets downloaded with other potentially suspicious applications.
What does Video Dimmer do?
Unlike many other adware programs, Video Dimmer does not add extensions or plug-ins to your default browsers. There is only one process running in your system’s background called VideoDimmerService.exe. With this service Video Dimmer can track your web browsing history and generate your online profile.
Adware programs need that kind of information so they would know what kind of content they need to embed in their ads. Although Video Dimmer claims that it is there to enhance “your ability to watch videos on the web,” there is no need to keep this application on your computer because it does not offer any unique function. You can easily get rid of the background by simply watching a video in full screen.
Rather than improving your online video watching experience, Video Dimmer can actually disrupt it by displaying third-party commercial advertisements. These advertisements might lead you to potentially dangerous websites, so you should avoid that from happening.
