Due to it functionality, our malware researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com have classified it as an adware application. This program is quite suspicious since even its official installer seems to carry a number of malware infections and potentially unwanted programs as well.

CalendarSpark
CalendarSpark is the newest product of Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. It looks quite useful at first glance, which explains why users tend to install the extension of CalendarSpark themselves. At the time of writing there are 16 605 Google Chrome users who have already installed this software. This is not surprising at all because CalendarSpark claims to provide “easy-to-use family and life planning calendar tools.” Even though this piece of software seems to be very useful, the majority of users who install it do not know that it will change their homepages, search engines, and probably, the New Tab page settings. If you have also noticed that all these settings have been changed after the installation of CalendarSpark and you want to restore them, you will have to delete the extension from all your browsers. You should definitely do that too if this extension has sneaked onto your computer without permission and applied all those changes without your consent. Read more »
