OnlineFormFinder Toolbar

OnlineFormFinder Toolbar is a potentially unwanted program that might be associated with security threats. It is very likely that users install this application on their computers accidentally and then they have to look for ways to remove it. You can actually uninstall OnlineFormFinder Toolbar by following the instructions we have provided below this description. While you are at it, you should also scan your PC with a licensed antispyware tool because such potentially unwanted programs seldom travel on their own. What we mean is that you may have multiple other applications on-board without even realizing it, wondering why all of a sudden your computer is so slow.

We are not too concerned about this application because we know exactly where it comes from. And when we know the main source for such programs, we can more or less foresee what they will try to do. Unlike ransomware infections that are highly individual and unique, potentially unwanted programs from the same family are usually identical clones, programmed to work in the same or similar manner. Therefore, if we know other programs that are like OnlineFormFinder Toolbar, then we can apply the same removal methods to the newest members of the same freeware family.

OnlineFormFinder Toolbar comes from the MindSpark Toolbar family. It is an ever-growing group of potentially unwanted applications. All the programs from this group look like they can offer some particular function to improve your web browsing experience. However, that function is usually just a random service that you can easily receive via your browser, so it is highly questionable whether you need an entirely new program just for that one service. In fact, all the previously released Mindspark toolbars came with such doubtful features, too. The list is long, and it includes such programs as EasyWeatherAlert Toolbar, Zwinky Toolbar, MyScrapNook Toolbar, and so on.

Do these programs have similar distribution patterns? Very much so. Just like its predecessors, OnlineFormFinder Toolbar also has an official homepage where you can read more about the application and decide whether you need one on your computer. The official homepage is located at onlineformfinder.com, and since the program has this homepage, it is hard to categorize it as a malicious infection. After all, what malicious program would be available like this in public? What’s more, the official homepage tells you more about this application and what you should expect from it.

For instance, it says this application can find you “FREE printable forms online without the hassle.” Of course, you need various forms all the time, and you do not want to look for them on your own, this might sound like a good idea. But we are not talking about the instances when users download OnlineFormFinder Toolbar willingly. We are dealing with the situations when this program enters target computer accidentally, and that usually happens because the official homepage is not the only distribution source. Just like all the other programs in this family, OnlineFormFinder Toolbar can also enter your computer bundled with freeware.

When that happens, users usually download a freeware application from a file-sharing website. This third-party installer they download carries more than one application, and, as a result, users end up setting up several programs on their system without even realizing it. And when this particular tool is set up on your computer, it will change your homepage and your new tab settings on your default browser. This type of behavior actually looks like something a browser hijacker would do. So it is not surprising that a few affected users think that OnlineFormFinder Toolbar might be a browser hijacker, too.

Another anything thing about this program is that removing it via Control Panel would delete the toolbar only from Internet Explorer. For Chrome or Firefox, you would have to delete OnlineFormFinder Toolbar manually, going through the Program Files directory. Although that is not anything complicated, some users might find it bothersome. Therefore, you can always get rid of this application by using a powerful security tool.

Automated software removal is probably the fastest and the most efficient way to get rid of all the potential threats. On top of that, this security tool of your choice will help you safeguard you PC against various other threats in the near future.
