.Domi.A is one of the more dangerous adware infections you can get. It follows, for the most part, the typical pathology of most adware programs. However, it has some additional processes that make it more dangerous than the average adware. It should, more than most merely annoying adware programs, definitely be removed because it’s not just a performance issue, but a real safety problem.

With all adware infections, there’s a pretty standard pathology that only varies in a few minor points. Typically, the infection begins by the program getting downloaded on your computer without your knowledge or consent. They often come as a bundle package with some other service.

After being downloaded and installed, adware programs will usually check and see if there’s an update on their host website, and download it if need be. Then, they’ll search your computer for evidence of your browsing history, and upload it to their host web page. This, in turn, gets sorted through, and they then send you advertisements based on this info. Usually, this isn’t much to worry about, but with high risk infections like .domi.a, there is also a backdoor hacking feature involved, where a remote user can look more in depth at your files, and maybe get some truly private information. They also tend to download more adware, and maybe a virus or two. Another “lovely” thing about these types of infection is that they can bypass and sometimes shut off some of your security features.
Then there come the advertisements. This is usually the most noticeable sign of an adware infection. They are most often in the form of pop ups, but have also manifested as popunders, banners, links on your web pages, and even on your desktop. The degree of information that these programs can find out about you is astonishing. Not only can you see content that might most likely be interesting to you, but sometimes you’ll see your home city mentioned, and your name can even come up!

The advertisements aren’t the worst thing about an adware infection, though. Not by a long shot. The collective activity of communicating back and forth with a remote server or hacker, searching through your files, generating the pop ups, and so on, costs a huge amount of memory and bandwidth. Also, if a virus does get downloaded, there’s even more memory being used to damage your files.
