A piece of software that goes by the name Text From PC Toolbar is not exactly beneficial although some users might find it quite useful. We say so because it only changes web browsers’ settings when it is installed on users’ computers. Yes, it does not do anything else.

There are several reasons why specialists do not call it a fully reliable search tool – you can find all those reasons listed in the next paragraph, so read it if you want to find out how it acts, or you simply cannot understand why a legitimate-looking search tool has to be removed.
