It has been discovered that Desktop Dock presents links to popular sites, like facebook.com, nytimes.com or instagram.com; however, this is not what you should focus on at the moment. If you have interacted with the Desktop Dock already, you might have noticed that the related search box represents the services of findamo.com. Furthermore, you may be offered to install docksearch.net as the main search provider on the active web browsers. Note that this search tool also represents findamo.com. We advise having this search provider removed because it is notorious for representing sponsored search results and disruptive advertisements, all of which may route you to third-party sites. In fact, online advertising is one of the reasons to remove Desktop Dock as well because the free version of this program promoted at desktopdock.net is ad-supported. Even in the Privacy Policy it is stated that the developers permit the advertising conducted by third parties. Due to this, we recommend that you consider the removal.
You can install automatic malware removal software to delete Desktop Dock from the operating system; however, this is more important to those users whose systems are affected by other threats and are vulnerable to other attacks. If you wish to remove Desktop Dock manually, we have prepared an easy-to-follow manual removal guide. Keep in mind that you will need to delete Findamo Search manually as well.
