What is CinematicFanatic Toolbar?
A new piece of software CinematicFanatic Toolbar has been developed recently by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. Like previously-released products of this company, it is advertised as a useful application. It promises that users could find and watch movies “from a variety of genres” online. At first glance, it might seem that it is a perfect application for cinema lovers; however, in reality, it is surely not as beneficial as it claims to be. Additionally, it cannot be called a fully trustworthy application by any means – specialists have come to a decision to call it a potentially unwanted application. CinematicFanatic Toolbar has been put next to other potentially unwanted programs not without reason. Specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com have made several findings which clearly show that this piece of software is not exactly what it claims to be. Also, users might find it installed on their computers without their knowledge. If you still cannot decide which side you should pick, i.e. those users who immediately remove this program from their PCs or those who keep it, read this report – no doubt it will help you to make up your mind.
What does CinematicFanatic Toolbar do?
Although CinematicFanatic Toolbar claims to be beneficial software, our researchers, unfortunately, cannot confirm that it is very useful software because it does not do anything very good. As research has shown, it only sets a page in the place of a user’s homepage. This page looks like an ordinary search tool – there is a search box with several quick-access buttons below it. On top of that, there is a bar at the top of the browser which contains cinema-related websites: hulu.com, netflix.com, and others. People can easily access those websites without the help of CinematicFanatic Toolbar, so they rarely find this feature useful. Actually, it seems that this program is only described as extremely beneficial to lure users into downloading it. If you have already done that or if it has slithered onto your computer, we highly recommend considering its removal. There are several reasons behind this advice we give you: first, this application is far from being a useful program; second, its search tool might display sponsored search results to you, which might redirect to pages promoting malicious software; third, it might track you and record various details about you, including details about your activities on the web, your interests, and even technical details about the computer you use. Then, all this gathered information will be shared with partners, advertisers, and other third parties, meaning that online privacy issues might arise in no time. You can prevent all those problems from emerging by deleting CinematicFanatic Toolbar from your browsers as soon as possible. There is nothing else you can do about that.
Where does CinematicFanatic Toolbar come from?
There are two types of computer users out there: 1) those who download this Mindspark toolbar willingly from its official website http://www.cinematicfanatic.com/index.jhtml and 2) those who have no idea why they have this potentially unwanted program installed on their computers. It seems that more people belong to the second group, which suggests that this untrustworthy piece of software is actively distributed using those alternative methods of distribution and often shows up on PCs without the users’ knowledge. Some users install February CinematicFanatic Toolbar next to third-party software downloaded from the web without even realizing that. Others get it by clicking on pop-up ads promoting it (these ads are usually shown on dubious third-party pages). This Mindspark product is installed on their computers even though they click on these advertisements accidentally. As can be seen, it is easy to get undesirable software from the web. Luckily, it does not mean that it is impossible to prevent it from entering the system – all you need to do is to install security software on your computer.
