Unwanted Browser Toolbars
No doubt you’ve had one or two browser
toolbars appear (seemingly), out of thin air
when you’ve opened up a web browser
on your computer. So, what are they, how
has this occurred, and why?

Toolbars typically inhabit the horizontal
space below your browsers menu and
address area, and include buttons,
icons, and menus that give you an easy
way to select features and extend the
functionality of your browser.
Most of these are designed for generating
advertising revenue by hijacking your
web browser in terms of Homepage
and Search results. Some of the more
pernicious toolbars, overlay adverts on ALL
visited websites.
Some common ways to obtain toolbars
are through Oracle Java updates, and the
installation of Adobe Reader and Adobe
Flash Player. These applications are safe to
use, but Adobe bundles McAfee Security
Scan Plus, Google Chrome and Google
Toolbar with these installs. While Oracle
Java updates like to install Search App by
ASK, and the Yahoo Toolbar.
Other ways toolbars can appear, are
by installing commonly found free
software, like: media players, video &
audio convertors and codecs, and many
more. These third-party applications often
bundle ‘toolbar installations’ with them, so
take care during installation and uncheck
anything that is not to your liking.
Most toolbars have names you’ve never
heard of like: MyWebSearch, Ask, Snap.
do, Babylon, EliteUnzip, Delta, iLivid, Qvo6,
Conduit, Mindspark Interactive, and the
list goes on. If you’ve got some of these
toolbars I’d get them removed.
