What is EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar?

Since you are reading this report, it is likely that you have already decided to delete EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar from your browsers and the operating system. Is that the case?

How does EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar work?

Some users might download EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar from a random source promoting file bundles, and it could be downloaded along with other undesirable programs. However, if you used the installers presented via entertainmentnewsnow.com or the Chrome web store (for Chrome users only) at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/entertainmentnewsnow/mbpjihidpbilljphhnclpeimpdfnjidi, it is most likely that this potentially unwanted program was downloaded alone. Whatever the case might be, EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar always acts the same way. Its main task is to take over the New Tab page and, depending on the browser you use, the home page too. The interface of the program is a hybrid between a toolbar and a search engine. At the top, you can see a bar with easy-access links, and these links route to entertainment-related websites, such as eonline.com, thehollywoodgossip.com, youtube.com, and perezhilton.com. In the center of the page, you can find a search query box and a list of additional easy-access links, and these route to such popular sites as booking.com, facebook.com, amazon.com, or instagram.com.

EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar was created by Mindspark Interactive Network Inc., just like such well-known PUPs as DailyFunnyWorld Toolbar, GiffySocial Toolbar, or WeatherBlink Toolbar. While they all promote different third-party services, they all introduce users to MyWay Search, a search engine that is integrated into the browser. So, if you type a search keyword into the search query box, you are automatically routed to search.myway.com. Can these results be trusted? Not really, because they represent modified Google Search results. If you want to use Google Search, go ahead, but do not trust a suspicious search engine that modifies the results taken from it. You also need to take into account that the creator of EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar works with third parties that are not revealed. The creator and the parties both use tracking tools to collect data, and they can then show you ads. Well, these ads can be delivered via the modified search results. Also, the toolbar reserves the right to show notifications. So, do you want to remove this potentially unwanted program?
