FunPopularGames Toolbar

What is FunPopularGames Toolbar?

FunPopularGames Toolbar is a suspicious browser extension that was created by Mindspark Interactive Network. If you install this program onto your Internet Explorer browser, it will be installed onto your PC, but if you acquire it for your Chrome and Firefox browsers, you will need to get rid of FunPopularGames Toolbar directly from them. Of course, we do not claim that the removal of this browser add-on is compulsory, but there are a few things about this toolbar that are quite disconcerting. For example, did you know that this suspicious program can track your virtual activity? Although most programs are capable of doing that with the help of web cookies, not all programs are as suspicious as this one.

How does FunPopularGames Toolbar work?

Although FunPopularGames Toolbar promotes third-party links that are only associated with online gaming websites, this program is very similar to CrazyForCraft Toolbar, MyImageConverter Toolbar, and other toolbars created by Mindspark. All of these programs have separate download sites, but their privacy policies are identical. Of course, this does not mean that these programs are unreliable or malicious. The reason why we classify these toolbars as unreliable because the links they provide are unpredictable. For all you know, a link routing to a supposedly fun gaming site could actually route you to a site displaying misleading ads and promoting fake installers. If you do not think you can distinguish between reliable and unreliable links, it is wise to get rid of software exposing you to them.

Whether you download FunPopularGames Toolbar from funpopulargames.com/index.jhtml or using a random installer promoting other programs, it is likely that you will be offered Ask Search. While this search tool does not make the list of malicious software, the search tools installed onto your browsers could be modified. If you agree to the modifications offered, you will find home.tb.ask.com set as your homepage. If you enter keywords into this search tool, you will go to search.tb.ask.com, and this search tool could be modified to show sponsored links and advertisements. After all, FunPopularGames Toolbar is a free program, and it relies on promotion to generate profit. If that was not enough, ads could be shown to you by third-party ad-supported programs as well. Adware could come packaged with this suspicious toolbar, and you have to get rid of it as well.
