Where does TransitSimplified Toolbar come from?

The extension’s features are really similar to those of Webfetti Toolbar, MapsGalaxy Toolbar, DailyLocalGuide Toolbar, and many others.

However, on the other hand, we know exactly how to deal with TransitSimplified Toolbar.

What does TransitSimplified Toolbar do?

This application is compatible with all the major web browsers out there, and when you install this application on your PC, TransitSimplified Toolbar adds extensions to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. What’s more, the toolbar supports a separate search engine. If you go through the installation process automatically, then it is really going to look like TransitSimplified Toolbar has hijacked your browser. This impression is there because Ask.com gets set as your default search engine and the homepage.

At first glance, it might seem that Ask.com is a rather useful website, as it provides you with the search service, and it even contains shortcuts to the most popular social networking web pages. However, this search engine (and the TransitSimplified Toolbar itself) will track your online activity to generate your profile, and then spam you with customized commercial advertisements. This could also lead eventually to a malware infection, so if you want to avoid severe computer security issues, you’d better remove TransitSimplified Toolbar today.

How do I remove TransitSimplified Toolbar?

Since this potential computer security threat is an adware application, it is not complicated to uninstall it. Open your Control Panel and delete TransitSimplified Toolbar. When you are done, restore your browser settings manually because the Ask.com search engine will not disappear automatically. Finally, to be absolutely sure that your computer is fully protected from harm, scan the system with a security application of your choice. Do invest in a licensed antispyware tool if need be.
