What is MyCalendarPlanner Toolbar?
MyCalendarPlanner Toolbar is a piece of software developed by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. It should enable users to print blank calendar templates and create events in an online calendar to get notifications when the time comes. This might seem to be a very useful feature, but, unfortunately, we cannot call this toolbar a fully reliable application. First of all, it belongs to the infamous family which has already released a number of toolbars that are known to be untrustworthy. Secondly, not all the people who install it know that this software also installs a tool that changes the settings of browsers. Third, it collects information about users and then might share it with third parties. Finally, it is also known that this toolbar might be distributed in software bundles too, which means that not all the users download and install it willingly on their computers. You will find more information about this application in this article. It should help you to make a final decision what to do with MyCalendarPlanner Toolbar.
What does MyCalendarPlanner Toolbar do?
MyCalendarPlanner Toolbar might really have some useful features, for example, it enables people to print blank calendars and use an online calendar; however, specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com still do not encourage people to keep it because this software is classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). It means that it might act in an undesirable way. As we have mentioned in the first paragraph, many people do not even know that their homepages will be changed, so they really find it surprising that they see a window with buttons and the MyWay search engine after the installation of the toolbar. Of course, people who do not download this program willingly cannot explain why the settings of their browsers have been changed as well. It is said that MyWay is “enhanced by Google”. Unfortunately, it does not mean that it is completely safe to use it because it might be very true that the developer has made modifications to be able to insert ads and promotional links among the search results too. These third-party links and ads might be dangerous in a sense that they can redirect users to untrustworthy web pages. Furthermore, it might be very true that your search queries, websites you visit, links you click, and other details associated with your browsing activities will be recorded as well. There is only one way to put an end to this – you have to uninstall the MyCalendarPlanner extension from browsers.
According to our researchers at anti-spyware-101.com, MyCalendarPlanner Toolbar cannot be fully trusted also because it requires such permissions as read and change all your data on the websites you visit, read and change your browsing history, manage your downloads, and even manage apps, extensions, and themes. As the previous experience of our experts shows, fully reliable software does not ask users to allow it to act like that. Therefore, MyCalendarPlanner Toolbar cannot be called a reliable program. You are the one who can decide what to do with it, so choose wisely.
Where does MyCalendarPlanner Toolbar come from?
There is no doubt that some users download MyCalendarPlanner Toolbar from its official website mycalendarplanner.com; however, according to our researchers, it must be true that the majority of people do not know how they got it. It is unclear how exactly this software is disseminated, but the most likely scenario is that it comes in software bundles with other applications so that it could hide itself more successfully. Of course, in such a case, users are told about the installation of new software, but they still do not know about that because they usually do not read what it is written for them.
