Do you know what datamngr.dll is?

The suspicious datamngr.dll is a dynamic link library file which starts running on your computer once you install Searchqu Toolbar, iLivid Toolbar, BearShare Mediabar, iMesh Toolbar or Bandoo plugins on your Internet browser. The file is not considered malicious and you can usually find it under C:\Program Files. Since the component aids different programs, various sizes of the file have been noticed, starting from 700B and finishing with 1,4MB. This is not enough to slow down the computer on its own; however, once the component starts running alongside other files you may witness some speed issues. So how should you remove datamngr.dll?

Since datamngr.dll is not a malicious file you should face no issues when dealing with manual removal procedures. However, it does not make much sense to delete datamngr.dll and leave out the rest of the components which compose, for example, MediaBar. If you remove the dll component – your browser plugin will be corrupted. Therefore, we recommend that you delete the entire toolbar. If you do not want to remove aforementioned add-ons, note that they can track your browsing habits, which is why you should not run them on your computer. These programs are not malicious; however, you should not take any risks.

Below are the manual removal instructions which will help you delete unwanted programs from your PC and your browsers. After you are done – check the Task Manger. Note that if the file is still running, you may have left out the program to which the file belongs to.
