OnlineRouteFinder Toolbar is an extension that is offered by Mindspark Interactive Network. This company has also created DigiSmirkz Toolbar, MyCalendarPlanner Toolbar, Everyday Manuals Toolbar, and hundreds of other applications of this kind. Are these toolbars malicious? They are not, but they are classified as potentially unwanted programs because they come packaged with MyWay search tools that not all users are likely to be happy about. Also, the toolbar could be introduced to users via third-party installers, and so they might acquire it by accident or without understanding how it works. All in all, Anti-Spyware-101.com malware researchers agree that while you can use the toolbar to your advantage, there are reasons for deleting it as well. If you are curious about this, you might want to read this report. Note that we have created a guide that shows how to remove OnlineRouteFinder Toolbar as well, and if you want to get rid of this PUP right away, you can move straight to the guide below. Read more »
