Diamondata - How to remove

Diamondata is another adware that was designed to display tons of ads on random computers. It causes to appear numerous messages with coupons, deals, shopping offers, etc. They may look quite attractive as all of us like getting discounts, but these ones are very annoying and they interrupt your work on computer.

Diamondata is distributed together with freeware applications without users’ knowledge. Although you may detect bundled applications while installing programs, many users tend to skip installation steps for this process to be quicker. This way Diamondata and other applications are installed automatically because they are marked to be added by default.

The purpose of this adware is to make money by promoting dubious websites and displaying ads that contain sponsored links. Diamondata also records information about user’s browsing habit and tries to get access to some of your sensitive information. That together with unfair methods used to infiltrate into computers makes it a potentially unwanted program. For this reason, it is recommended to remove Diamondata as soon as you detect it on your computer.

Go to Control Panel -> Add and Remove programs list and uninstall it from there. You should also check browser extensions for Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome and remove it from there. If you do not see it listed, you should use antimalware tools like SpyHunter and scan your computer with it.
