Lyoness Cashback Bar

Lyoness Cashback Bar is an adware program that could be detrimental to your computer’s security. Adware is a type of software that refers to an application that automatically generates commercial advertisements in order to make a financial profit. That would not be much of a problem if these advertisements were reliable. However, cyber criminals might as well make use of this type of program for their own malicious purposes. To prevent any type of malicious exploitation, you must remove Lyoness Cashback Bar from your computer right now. While you are at it, you should also check for other potential threats that might be installed on your system.

The reason we urge users to check their computers for multiple threats is the fact that adware programs and other similar applications often get distributed in groups. In fact, it is the most common distribution method when it comes to adware and freeware, so you have to understand that when you need to take care of one annoying application, chances are you need to terminate an entire bunch of others, too. Thus, it is about time to scan your PC with the SpyHunter free scanner and find out just how vulnerable your system is. It is never too late to take care of your computer’s safety.

Based on our research, Lyoness Cashback Bar exhibits typical adware infection symptoms by displaying annoying pop-ups, showing commercial ads, and adding an extension to the Internet Explorer browser. Although the application does not seem to affect Firefox and Chrome at first, it can also display ads on those browsers via a service that runs in the system background. For example, there are background processes associated with this application that can be checked via Windows Task Manager: BackgroundHost.exe and BackgroundHost64.exe. Thus, it does not matter which browser you use, if this program gets installed on your computer, you will have to deal with the consequences.

At first, it might seem that Lyoness Cashback Bar is far from being an annoying and intrusive application because it comes with a promise to give your “Money back with every purchase!” In other words, it is one of the many shopping apps that are supposed to provide you with the best deals across online stores. For that, the application collects information on your web browsing habits. Adware programs are able to do that because they employ third-party tracking cookies to do that job for them. That is not something illegal, but, once again, that could be a serious problem if the collected information falls into the hands of cyber criminals.

Therefore, Lyoness Cashback Bar is a liability that should not be taken lightly. This program displays coupons and other types of commercial offers depending on the websites you are surfing. You may find some of the offers attractive enough to click them. However, this is exactly what you should not do because this could result in a malware infection or information leak. Such programs do not check whether the content they promote is safe, so the ads displayed by this application could be embedded with outgoing links that lead to dangerous websites.

It goes without saying that you should do everything you can to remove this adware program from your computer. You can delete Lyoness Cashback Bar via your Control Panel, but there might be some files or registry entries that remain even after that. For example, there are at least fifty authentic class ID (CLSID) numbers scattered across Windows Registry that are associated with this adware, and it is important that you remove all of them to get rid of this application. The following list contains just a few examples of the CLSID keys:

{2A87E8F3-74F4-4832-BB0D-2DDC1E25A889}
{494176DC-591B-4B54-A2CF-0FA9F26E4A98}
