dnsdaisetta.exe Description and Distribution
The process belongs to the application DNS Keeper that has been around for at least several months. Since the program has been flagged as potentially unwanted, the dnsdaisetta process can be presumed unwanted as well. PUPs usually enter the system in bundled downloads also known as freeware installers. 
Hot Tip
To avoid unwanted downloads, the user should pay more attention when installing free software products. Developers bundle their products quite often – to monetize the software and cover financial losses. Bundling is also favored by third party online advertisers – for the very same financial reasons.

dnsdaisetta.exe is not the only executable that is traced back to the DNS Keeper adware. According to security research, another application – dnskeeper_soft_partner.exe has been detected as a potentially unwanted application by anti-malware scanners. The app is a setup application that uses the Inno Setup installer. Moreover, the dnskeeper_soft_partner.exe file is not signed with an authenticode signature from a trusted source.
Another report has been created about the following process:
→package_dnskeeper_installer_multilang.exe
The research by HerdProtect reveals that 11 anti-spyware solutions detect the process as potentially unwanted. It also belongs to the DNS Keeper Setup. The setup program is reported to bundle ad-supported offers via Amonetize – a well-known pay-per-install download manager.
Uninstall Processed by DNS Keeper
The safest way to uninstall any unwanted process is by using a professional anti-malware scanner. You can also try and locate the .exe files manually. Here are the probable locations of the executables described in the article:
package_dnskeeper_installer_multilang.exe Common Path
- C:\users\{user}\appdata\local\temp\{random}.tmp\package_dnskeeper_installer_multilang.exe
dnskeeper_soft_partner.exe Common Path
- C:\users\{user}\appdata\local\temp\{random}.tmp\dnskeeper_soft_partner.exe
dnsdaisetta.exe Common Path
