Dotdo virus

Dotdo virus is a term frequently used to identify a program that is detected as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware by reputable security software. Dotdo adware is primarily used to infiltrate a PC without user knowledge, harvest user browsing data, and inject the webpages you visit with deceptive and intrusive advertisements.

The internet security community strongly recommends that you remove Dotdo if you find this unwanted program installed onto your computer system or attached to your internet browser as a browser add-on or extension.
