Where does ActionClassicGames Toolbar come from?

Such applications often have more than just one distribution method, and ActionClassicGames Toolbar is no exception. Although most of the adware programs cannot provide users with links to their official websites, ActionClassicGames Toolbar has a working homepage at actionclassicgames.com. The website provides the most basic information on the toolbar, and even has a working download link. This would make it seem that the primary distribution source is the official website, but we believe that is not the case.

Let us take a look at the background history behind ActionClassicGames Toolbar. The application belongs to the MindSpark family of browser extensions that have been around for quite some time now. Although such applications like Citysearch Toolbar, Video Scavenger Toolbar, Audio ToAudio Toolbar, RetroGamer Toolbar, and many others are also known to have official homepages, more of than not these apps are distributed in software bundles.

This means that if you do not remember downloading ActionClassicGames Toolbar from its main homepage, this program must have been installed along with a number of freeware applications you have recently downloaded from a third-party website. This calls for caution when you install freeware because you can never be sure that the third-party installer provides you with an absolutely reliable setup.

What does ActionClassicGames Toolbar do?

Some users claim that ActionClassicGames Toolbar is a browser hijacker because it changes their homepage and search engine to ask.com. However, no browser hijacker would ask you whether you want to keep your browser settings intact. ActionClassicGames Toolbar, on the other hand, does that, and if you do not notice the message on the installation wizard, it means you are not attentive enough.

Thus, the browser settings modification occurs only if you install the full version of ActionClassicGames Toolbar. Aside from that, the extension may also display commercial advertisements and collect data on what websites you visit. It is clear to see that the toolbar is just a tool in a far wider online marketing scheme that has been devised to generate financial profit for its developers by redirecting you to affiliated websites.

It might not be much of a problem if ActionClassicGames Toolbar was secure enough to stay away from potential malicious exploitations. Nevertheless, this is exactly what we are worried about, and the reason we urge you to remove ActionClassicGames Toolbar.
