Kiitos infosta,( thank you info), mutta miten widgi Toolbarin saa manuaallisesti poistettua (how Widgi Toolbar mamual remove ?
Hello,
My name is Laurentiu and I work for Spigot.
The toolbar is not malware. Malware is defined as malicious software that is designed to attack and/or corrupt your machine - The Spigot Toolbar(widgi) or MyBrowserBar Toolbar are merely applications that come bundled with software you already purchased or downloaded. There is no risk with using the Spigot Toolbar, however if you wish to uninstall the toolbar, we've provided clear instructions on how to do so here: you

Thank you

No data is collected to selling purposes and we do not track user behavior. Also, the user must specifically click on an Accept button to install our product. If anyone has any issues with the toolbar or removing it, we provide free support from our website. Thank you for allowing us to make this information available to the users.
Complete BS. There is no uninstall option in the control panel; there is no policy on any website. Just makes this infestation worse!
Click "Add or Remove Programs" or "Uninstall a program"
- From the dialog box that appears, choose the MyBrowserBar and/or Spigot Toolbar (Widgi Toolbar) and click "Uninstall" to remove it.
Thank you
none of these are in there
this toolbar is invested with virus, do not wish to use this
Somehow this program got on my ff even though I did not choose to install it. First sign its a virus.
2nd I completely agree with Brian. There are no options to uninstall widgi toolbar as described.
I need no more convincing that its malicious and that the company are fraudsters.
Maybe "Laurentiu" writes about some other program with the same name, I am a comp. technician and right now I'm preparing a used computer for another user i.e. uninstalling unnecesary programs, checking for HW/SW defects and such and I have found on this computer the "widgi" fingerprint but there was no program to uninstall by the name of "mybrowserbar".
removed FreeRIP software from Spigot and Widgi is gone as well... tadaaa!
To remove Widgi Toolbar look for Publisher 'Spigot' in 'Add or Remove Programs'
Spigot is clearly malware, even though someone claiming to be from teh company posts the exact same message everywhere.
It is malware because it is doing bad things that we do not want it to do, and because it was installed against the user's wishes.
End. Of. Story.
To be clear, users do NOT click on something to install the toolbar. It is in fact maliciously installed.
If it wasn't malicious, why would so many people be trying to get rid of it? Go die somewhere Laurentiu, get off the internet.
