Remove SearchDonkey by WebAppTech Coding

Search Donkey is a potentially unwanted application that plugs into a user's web browser distributed by Western Web Applications, LLC. It bundles as well as includes various advertising schemes such as contextual links, popovers and popunders.

As described by Western Web Applications: "Search Donkey is entirely free to use. In order to keep Search Donkey free, we've partnered with high-quality ad providers and you may see additional ads when Search Donkey is installed. We do not allow any really annoying ads, sexual content, or intrusive media; we've only partnered with high-quality ad providers to deliver the best user experience possible, while also trying to help with some of our costs to keep Search Donkey free. These offers make it more efficient to search the web by providing you with multiple places to search from (an additional search field, your home page or via opening a new browser tab). Included with these toolbars are typically widgets that provide new ways to access your favorite websites, social networking platforms and news sources. They also may offer general utility widgets like getting real-time weather data and streaming your radio station of choice. At any point, if you decide to uninstall Search Donkey, instructions for how to uninstall additional offers will also be provided."
