WebSearch Toolbar

The Websearch Toolbar has been classified as a Browser Helper Object. It is a free program you can dowload from the internet to "improve" your internet experience, allowing you to rate web sites, perform internet searches, find maps and driving directions or even play games.

However, as a Browser Helper Object there are some things that Websearch Toolbar might do to your computer that are undesirable to you. Websearch Toolbar can hijack your home page - what this means is that it can change your selected home page to one that you didn't select. It can also function as a search hijacker - what this means is that it can redirect your legitimate internet searches to web sites they want you to got to that contain advertisements from their sponsors.

Since Websearch Toolbar is also considered an adware program, it can decrease your internet surfing speed because it is always running in the background, and might also create a seemingly unending supply of pop-up advertisements.

You can do a free scan of your PC to see if you have Websearch Toolbar or any other adware, spyware, or browser helper objects loaded on your computer right now. It only takes a few minutes and you will be able to see what malware programs could be on your computer without your consent or knowledge.
