Where does ToolCube come from?

We are sure about additional potential threats because such programs often come bundled with other freeware. This means that you install multiple programs on your computer at the same time. Sadly, users are seldom aware of that when they download and set up applications from file-sharing sites.

Perhaps you have downloaded ToolCube from toolcube.net, and you are curious about what this program can do. After all, a direct download option is available, and that is one of the main pieces of the evidence that renders us incapable of categorizing this application as malware. Nevertheless, it is an adware program for a reason.

What does ToolCube do?

Although the application might be downloaded from its main homepage and come bundled with freeware via third-party sources, ToolCube still behaves in the same way regardless of its distribution method. The primary objective of the application is to provide you with a Windows gadget that would have all of your most commonly used programs and applications in one place. The main promotional line at its homepage reads as follows:

ToolCube is a simple to use application, which puts useful links in one place in order to save you time and energy: Games, news, gossip updates, Sports, and more.

Now, whether you like such a function or not, we have to take a look at the opposite side of this program. Aside from giving you a shortcut to your entertainment, this adware application may also display commercial advertisements and pop-ups. That is not much of a surprise because the application does not have any subscription, and so it needs to distribute commercial content to sustain itself.

Although this practice is very common among adware application, it is exactly why computer security experts always stress how important it is to delete adware apps ASAP. If you fail to remove ToolCube immediately, there is a good chance that the program’s ads will be misused by malevolent third parties for corrupted content distribution.

How do I remove ToolCube?

You can uninstall ToolCube via Control Panel, and it should be sufficient to remove all the program’s files from your computer. However, if you are still experiencing an onslaught of commercial ads even after you have dealt with the application, it means that you have many other unwanted programs on-board.
