MoviesFriendly Search Toolbar promises to provide users with a better web experience, but you should still think twice before installing it on your computer because it is not a fully trustworthy application even though it claims to be one.

We cannot even say that it is completely useless; however, we surely cannot confirm that it can be trusted fully because specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com have already categorized it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). These are not harmful threats, but we cannot tell you that they never act undesirably, so we do not recommend keeping MoviesFriendly Search Toolbar installed.
