What is LiveRadioSweeper Toolbar?

LiveRadioSweeper Toolbar is a newly-released product of Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. Although it has been developed recently, it seems that it has already shown up on a number of computers, judging from all these complaints users make. Some people believe that this piece of software is very beneficial and download it from liveradiosweeper.com/index.jhtml or a third-party website voluntarily, whereas others find it installed on their computers without their knowledge. LiveRadioSweeper Toolbar is just a potentially unwanted program (PUP), so it is not very likely that it is capable of entering computers silently without telling anything to anyone. In any event, do not even consider whether you should keep this application installed or not if you do not like it for any reason or you have not installed it willingly on your computer. Potentially unwanted programs are not hard to erase because they are far from real malicious applications (malware). Unfortunately, researchers still associate them with certain issues, which is why keeping them installed is not recommended. test test

What does LiveRadioSweeper Toolbar do?

No matter users get LiveRadioSweeper Toolbar from its official website, third-party sources, or it enters their PCs bundled with other applications, it still acts the same. Following the successful installation, this piece of software replaces homepages and New Tab pages on browsers with its own page. This page contains a bar at the top with buttons Music Videos, Music News, Play Music, Podcasts, and Music Fun. They allow users to quickly open such websites as pandora.com, metrolyrics.com, freemusicarchive.org, vevo.com, and others. There is a search box of the MyWay search engine (search.myway.com) there too. Last but not least, more quick-access buttons are located underneath this search box. Although LiveRadioSweeper Toolbar provides quite a useful service, it cannot be considered a fully trustworthy application. It is not a malicious application, of course, but, according to specialists, users should be careful with the search results they see after entering a search query into the search box of search.myway.com. Not all the search results it shows can be trusted because some of them are modified. Specialists are sure that they cannot be trusted because, after clicking on them, users might end up on third-party pages with malicious contents. Of course, this might not happen to you, but being more careful is highly recommended. To be frank, the cleverest decision you could make is to delete LiveRadioSweeper Toolbar.

Users should delete LiveRadioSweeper Toolbar not only to undo the changes applied to their browsers or make those modified search results gone. They should go to get rid of this program also if they do not want its developer to gather information about them. It is stated in the Privacy Policy of this piece of software that Mindspark Toolbars record information users provide themselves voluntarily and, on top of that, they can capture information automatically. It should also be emphasized that third-party pages which are opened when users click on these quick-access buttons or the modified search results can record information about them too. LiveRadioSweeper Toolbar has no control over them.

Where does LiveRadioSweeper Toolbar come from?

Only one official source of LiveRadioSweeper Toolbar exists: liveradiosweeper.com/index.jhtml; however, in the opinion or specialists at anti-spyware-101.com, it must be only one page of many it is promoted on. According to them, it is very likely that some users download this application from file-sharing or similar third-party pages too. In addition, they might find this program installed on their computers after clicking on a pop-up ad promoting software. Although it is not so easy to protect the system from untrustworthy software, there is one thing all users can do – install and enable a security application on their computers.
