What is BetterCareerSearch Toolbar?

BetterCareerSearch Toolbar is a tool that introduces itself as “the must-have toolbar for any job hunter.” It promises free access to the most recent job listings, easy LinkedIn updates, and other features. However, it doesn’t look any different from any of the thousands upon thousands of similar applications out there. It doesn’t offer anything that couldn’t be accessed with a simple Google search, while cluttering your browser at the same time. Also, third-party applications with content and functions you don't control could possibly make your computer more vulnerable to threats. You can never be too careful, so we recommend you to remove BetterCareerSearch Toolbar from your computer immediately.testtesttest 100% FREE spyware scan and

Is BetterCareerSearch Toolbar useful?

BetterCareerSearch Toolbar comes from the Mindspark family of toolbars. There are so many that you could never count them all. Common sense dictates that if its developers, Mindspark Interactive Network Inc., wanted to make products that are useful, there’s no way they’d have thousands of them, and Mindspark does. Imagine the amount of staff, research, and funds that would be required to make superb products over a wide variety of themes. This leads to the conclusion that Mindspark makes these toolbars in an automated manner. Knowing this, even if the BetterCareerSearch toolbar was the least intrusive of them all, what value is there in something that might have taken its developers five minutes to make?

What does BetterCareerSearch Toolbar do?

When installed on your computer, BetterCareerSearch Toolbar settles in under your address bar. It changes your home page and default search engine to ask.com, and provides you with various supposedly useful tools to help while searching for a job. These tools include links to job search sites, a salary calculator, and a link to Wallstreet Journal website with tips for job hunters, among others. These resources can be easily accessed over the Internet without the toolbar. The changing of the home page and the default search engine is another thing that bothers us. You could use Google, Bing, Yahoo, or any other search engine you like. Why would one that's possibly subpar be a must-have tool for any job hunter?

How is BetterCareerSearch Toolbar distributed?

BetterCareerSearch Toolbar is distributed through its website at BetterCareerSearch.com and various bundled downloads. The Mindspark family of toolbars is known to be distributed in software bundles that can contain malicious programs. It’s not a big leap to assume that BetterCareerSearch Toolbar is no different, leading us to caution you. If you have this toolbar on your computer, but can’t recall downloading it from its website at BetterCareerSearch.com, it’s good sense to check your system for malware.
