Koyote Toolbar
You are completely right if you think that there is something wrong with the suspicious Koyote Toolbar. This program – which appears to be compatible only with Internet Explorer – uses the name of a popular company that offers free audio and video downloading services. In reality, this toolbar has nothing to do with this company. In fact, it is most likely that this popular name is used to attract users, which, as we have seen, it does successfully. Even the URL of the official download page, koyotesoft.mybrowserbar.com/download.html is misleading. ...
Wallpapers Toolbar
Wallpapers Toolbar is one of those browser extensions that you wish you would not have installed on your computer. In fact, quite a few users think that this application is a malicious infection similar to browser hijackers. Albeit our security experts suggest that it is a problematic toolbar, it would be hard to classify it as a computer infection because it does not really enter target system surreptitiously. That fact aside, the bottom’s line is that users have to remove Wallpapers Toolbar from their computers if they want to continue using their PCs just as before. ...
EasyHomeDecorating Toolbar
The newest product from Mindspark Interactive Network, EasyHomeDecorating Toolbar, is rapidly gaining momentum. Although this program might seem quite useful if you are interested in home decorating tools, our researchers cannot stress enough how important it is to be careful with it. This toolbar was designed to promote third-party services, and it is unlikely that it itself holds much value. In fact, this program does not provide any tools. Instead, it shows links to third-party sites that might or might not provide you with beneficial services. ...
PasswordLogic Toolbar
PasswordLogic Toolbar is an annoying and useless toolbar from the notorious Mindspark family. Unfortunately, this toolbar may present to you potentially unreliable web content through its third-party services, which can cause security-related issues for your operating system. That is why we keep categorizing these toolbars as bad toolbars. Mindspark is infamous for its dozens of questionable toolbars; therefore, you should not hesitate to remove PasswordLogic Toolbar as soon as you notice it in your browsers. ...
PackageTracking Toolbar
Do you buy things online frequently? If you do, you might be interested in a program that promises to help you track all packages using one single tool. PackageTracking Toolbar is this program, but we do not recommend installing it onto any browser. This suspicious toolbar is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer browsers, and it always travels bundled with third-party search tools. Unlike the users of other two browsers, Chrome users are introduced to MyWay Search. The other browsers are more likely to be hijacked by Ask Search. ...
YourTemplateFinder Toolbar
Computer users who install YourTemplateFinder Toolbar onto their browsers are usually careless. Careful users take their time to analyze the software they desire, and they weigh all pros and cons. Unfortunately, there are more cons to using this toolbar than there are pros, and this is why we are talking about its removal. Some users claim that this toolbar installs without permission and modifies search tools illegally. This is unlikely to be the truth. Although this toolbar has a bad reputation, it is unlikely to change browser settings without permission. ...
FileShareFanatic Toolbar
You should not install FileShareFanatic Toolbar by any means because it is definitely not trustworthy software. Yes, this browser plugin tries to convince users that it will enable them to send large files, upload and transfer documents, and find reliable online data storage services; however, we do not think that it is the reason to keep this browser plugin. We have already encountered hundreds of similar browser plugins developed by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc., so we know what we can expect from FileShareFanatic Toolbar. If you have also found FileShareFanatic Toolbar rather annoying, or simply feel that it has appeared on your Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox without permission, you should get rid of FileShareFanatic Toolbar. ...
GetFlightInfo Toolbar
GetFlightInfo Toolbar is a browser plugin that promises to enable users to “check flight status quickly and easily.” This piece of software claims that you will not only get information on arrivals, departures, and cancellations, but will also be enabled to access travel guides, restaurant reviews, and even get flight directions. The toolbar seems to be very useful at first sight, so it is not surprising at all that many users click the Install button placed on its official website. Actually, we do not recommend doing that. First of all, there is a possibility that GetFlightInfo Toolbar will put your system at risk. Secondly, GetFlightInfo Toolbar claims on its official website that it provides third-party information for users and cannot guarantee “the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the results.” ...
TestForSpeed Toolbar
TestForSpeed Toolbar will appear at the top of your browser if you click on the Install button placed on the official website free.testforspeed.com. Yes, it is very easy to install this toolbar; however, we are sure that only a small number of users find its official website and thus install the software consciously. We have managed to find out that TestForSpeed Toolbar often enters systems of users living in Canada, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Japan, Russia, and other countries. We have to admit that this piece of software is very prevalent, so every user who surfs the web on a daily basis might encounter this Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. product. Unfortunately, it is not the only product of this company. ...
PDFConverterHQ Toolbar
We have not had a Mindspark-developed toolbar in a while, but here it is. This newly released toolbar is called PDFConverterHQ Toolbar, and we recommend that you remove this infection as soon as possible. This innocent-looking browser extension/toolbar is set to heavily modify your browser’s settings and impose its promoted search engine on it, thus redirecting web traffic to a search engine that features questionable promotional links and making money for its developers. We firmly believe that keeping PDFConverterHQ Toolbar is a real danger to your computer’s security, so do not hesitate to uninstall it. ...
