AppMarket Toolbar Removal Guide

When you are in need of a new software application, be sure that you download one from an official website. Downloading programs from third party file hosting websites is not recommended unless you really know what you are doing; otherwise you could accidentally install the likes of AppMarket Toolbar on your computer. AppMarket Toolbar is not a malicious computer infection, but computer security specialist classify it as potentially unwanted program, because it collects web browsing data and supports third party advertisements. Thus, any security-minded user would rather have AppMarket Toolbar removed from his/her computer.

There are two main ways for AppMarket Toolbar to enter your system. First, it can be downloaded from the official website at appmarket.ourtoolbar.com. The official home page for the application allows one to conclude that AppMarket Toolbar belongs to the Conduit family of browser plug-in. It means that the application basically differs nothing from other add-ons from the same group, such as Freecorder Toolbar, WiseConvert Toolbar, Travelocity toolbar or others. It is compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer web browsers, and it is said that with the toolbar installed you can improve your overall browsing experience, but such claims are highly questionable.

Second, it is possible to download AppMarket Toolbar bundled with freeware as well. It would not be surprising to see this application bundled with shareware on such third party websites as cNet, Softpedia, 4shared and others. If you install new applications without even checking the installation options on setup, you might as well install not only AppMarket Toolbar, but some other potentially unwanted application as well. What is more, if you install the full version of this application, it modifies your browser settings. Search.conduit.com gets set as your default home page and search engine.

That is why some users think that AppMarket Toolbar is a browser hijacker. However, that is not exactly true, because users authorize the change themselves by going through the installation process. The problem is that they seldom pay attention to additional installation options (as it has been mentioned above) and thus additional (unnecessary) features get installed on your computer as well.

With AppMarket Toolbar installed on your PC, you will probably experience an increasing amount of pop-up advertisements. There is nothing malicious in that, but you need to have in mind that any malevolent third party could make use of the pop-ups to distribute their content. Hence, if you want to protect from any undesirable content, you should consider removing AppMarket Toolbar right now.

We provide manual removal instructions below this description, but if AppMarket Toolbar has arrived bundled with freeware, you should remove all the other potentially unwanted applications from your PC as well. To determine which programs need to be removed, scan your PC with SpyHunter free scanner.
