SocialDownloadr Toolbar Removal Guide

Although SocialDownloadr Toolbar guarantees it is virus-free, spyware-free, and malware-free, it cannot say the same about the third-party websites that its search engine promotes. Therefore, the advertisements could lead you to harmful websites that may damage your computer. The application might look very useful for active Facebook users, but you should be aware of the possible risks that will come with its usage. We hope the article will help you decide whether you want to keep this suspicious toolbar or not. If you would like to delete it, look for our recommended removal steps at the end of the text.

Generally, SocialDownloadr Toolbar is an application that allows Facebook users to download instantly photos from their albums on social media’s account to their PCs. Also, you can download your friend’s photos or any other user’s pictures from Facebook that are available for anyone to see. The tool as this might look useful, but as we said before, there are possible risks. Once installed, the application will affect all of the listed browsers that are on your computer: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. In addition, it will change your homepage to socialdownloadr.com and your search engine to search.socialdownloadr.com.

The homepage website (socialdownloadr.com) is the software’s official website, which is harmless, while the search engine (search.socialdownloadr.com) cannot be easily trusted because it displays third-party ads in the results. It can promote potentially unwanted programs, adware or browser hijackers, but some of the third-party websites might contain malicious content too, which could be harmful to your computer. SocialDownloadr Toolbar takes no responsibility for possible harm. Consequently, you can find this particular line in End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy: “HTTO and its SocialDownloadr web site are not responsible or liable for content posted by users, third parties, actions of any third party or for any damage to, or virus that may infect, a user’s computer equipment or other property.” It seems they refuse responsibilities and get advertising revenue while you take all the risks. If this does not look like a fair trade, you can always remove the program from your computer.

The application could be downloaded from the official website, but it is more likely that it spreads bundled with other software. SocialDownloadr Toolbar could come together with free programs from untrustworthy file-sharing web pages. While installing one piece of software, you are suggested to get another one, and if you rush the installation without reading setup wizards’ steps, you allow it to settle in your system unknowingly. Also, it is possible it could have appeared in your search results with sponsored links that were injected by a similar application. In a situation like this one, it would be advisable to scan your computer for possible malware or other unwanted programs.

Obviously, you could download photographs without SocialDownloadr Toolbar. Therefore, if you want to keep your computer secure you should delete this application. In order to do that, you will have to remove it from your browsers separately. If you need some help with that, you can use the instructions available below the article.
