EverydayLookup Toolbar

EverydayLookup Toolbar is a reverse lookup tool that offers third-party services, but, at the same time, it might introduce unsafe third-party content to you. Therefore, we have classified it as a bad toolbar. That means that this toolbar has potential to harm your computer or breach your privacy. It is also possible that you do not remember installing this toolbar and yet it is there in your browsers. You may also not recall allowing browser setting changes and that is why you may think that your browsers have been hijacked. However, it is most likely that you simply did not realize the checkboxes in the installation wizard. Not knowing about the potential risks in connection with this bad toolbar might put your system’s security at risk. That is why we recommend reading our full article for the details and to know why and how you should remove EverydayLookup Toolbar from your PC.

This toolbar is a newcomer in the so-called Mindspark family of questionable and useless browser extensions that include WorldSport New Tab and ConvertBox Toolbar. You can install EverydayLookup Toolbar directly from its official website, everydaylookup.com. In this case, you are surely offered a choice to opt out of the browser changes, even though the checkboxes are ticked by default. So, if you fail to read the panel carefully, you will end up with Ask.com as your home page, new tab page, and default search engine in all of the most popular browsers.

Of course, this is not the only way for EverydayLookup Toolbar to appear in your browsers. Unfortunately, it is also distributed in free software bundles together with other malware threats, including browser hijackers, adware programs, and potentially unwanted programs. These bundles are usually available on suspicious shareware and other P2P websites. It is possible that you click on a misleading download button and that is how you end up installing a whole pack of infections. It is important to note that even if you download such a bundle, you still have a way not to install what you do not need or want. Look for those checkboxes that let you make this decision. Sometimes these are only revealed in the Custom installation option. No matter how EverydayLookup Toolbar got to your computer, you need to delete it and search for other possible threats before they start causing real damage.

EverydayLookup Toolbar offers easy-access links to third-party services that can help you figure out mobile and landline phone numbers, addresses, zip codes, and more. It also provides you with a search tool and quick links to popular websites, including Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. However, the creators do not take any responsibility for any third-party content you may access or use through this browser extension and the customized ask.com website it sets as your home page and new tab page. If you read the EULA carefully, it will definitely not make you think that this toolbar is reliable in anyway. Here is what it discloses about security:

MS Products are exposed to various security issues, and should be regarded as unsecure. By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge and accept that the MS Products and any information you download or offer to share by means of an MS Product, may be exposed to unauthorized access, interception, corruption, damage or misuse, and should be regarded as insecure. You accept all responsibility for such security risks and any damage resulting therefrom.

If we add that this toolbar can collect information about you and even modify the search results pages to include third-party links, we think it should be enough already to convince you that you should delete EverydayLookup Toolbar as soon as possible.

So, finally, let us see what you can do about this bad toolbar situation and the related security issues. First of all, you need to uninstall EverydayLookup Toolbar via Control Panel. Since this will not restore the browser setting modifications and delete the unwanted extensions from all of your browsers, you should also reset those. Please follow our guide below if you are not familiar or sure of the necessary steps.
