Video Scavenger Toolbar

What is Video Scavenger Toolbar?

Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome users install Video Scavenger Toolbar hoping that this browser extension will help them access music, movie trailers and other videos using one-click. As you probably know already, the application is packaged together with Ask Web Search tools. In fact, instead of ask.com, your home page would be changed to home.tb.ask.com, and the default search provider would be changed to search.tb.ask.com. If you do not want to install these suspicious search tools onto your browsers, we recommend that you un-check the displayed boxes before you complete the installation. Luckily, it is not difficult to remove Video Scavenger Toolbar related search tools even if you have accidentally acquired them already. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers recommend reading the report to learn more about the application and its activity.

How does Video Scavenger Toolbar work?

Video Scavenger Toolbar is offered at videoscavenger.com; however, the website does not provide a lot of information about how the application works. For example, you are not informed that after clicking on the Music Videos icon displayed on the toolbar, you would be routed to music.com. Instead of presenting beneficial services, this site displays various flashing banner advertisements. Even though Video Scavenger Toolbar can display links to vimeo.com, youtube.com or dailymotion.com, it could also present easy-access links to suspicious, potentially unreliable websites. Due to this, we suggest that you find a more beneficial tool or act extremely cautious with the provided links.

If you are one of the many computer users who have installed the toolbar without recognizing the home page and the default search provider modifications, you probably are not happy about the Ask Web Search tools. Note that they are offered when installing other Mindspark applications, including Bringmesports Toolbar, FreeBillPayAlert Toolbar and SoccerInferno Toolbar. Even though these search tools present authentic search results, we want to warn you about the advertisements supported search results which might hide links to sites promiting services and products unrelated to your search queries. If you wish to restore the previous search tools, you should remove Ask Web Search first.
