EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar

Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer users might be interested in installing EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar if they believe that this extension/application can provide them with useful entertainment-related information as well as an allegedly useful search tool. If you have downloaded this toolbar, you might have realized already that it is not that useful. Sure, it presents links to eonline.com, youtube.com (Entertainment News), thehollywoodgossip.com, perezhilton.com, and facebook.com, and it also displays a weather forecast from weather.com, but you can easily bookmark these websites for easy access. Of course, if you find the toolbar to be convenient, you might decide that it is useful. That being said, you also need to think about your virtual security, and it is possible that it could be put on the line if you decided to continue using the PUP. We classify the toolbar as a potentially unwanted program because it redirects and advertises in odd ways. This is why most users choose to remove EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar, and if you want to do that too, you should continue reading.

EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar can be downloaded from www.entertainmentnewsnow.com, but chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/entertainmentnewsnow/mbpjihidpbilljphhnclpeimpdfnjidi is the main source for Google Chrome users. Generally speaking, the Chrome web store is considered to be a trustworthy source for new extensions, but, in some cases, it presents potentially unwanted programs too, and so you need to be careful. EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar could also be introduced to users via software bundles, and its installer could be promoted using misleading pop-ups. These are the main methods that are used to distribute DailyFunnyWorld Toolbar, GiffySocial Toolbar, MyWayNotes Toolbar, and all other Mindspark Interactive Network toolbars as well. Although it looks like the same creators stand behind all of these PUPs, they do have unique themes, and, for the most part, they present links to unique websites. The one thing that all of these toolbars have in common is the search tool, and this search tool is another thing that motivates many users to delete the potentially unwanted program.

When you install EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar, you enable it to take over the homepage and/or the New tab of your browser. You also allow it to read the browsing history, manage extensions, and even display notifications. You are not introduced to a toolbar that is pinned to your browser and is displayed regardless of the website you visit. Instead, the New tab page and/or homepage are taken over, and you are introduced to a pseudo toolbar that shows links to entertainment-related sites. In the center, you are shown a search box, and so EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar looks more like a search engine than an actual toolbar. If you enter keywords into the box, you are routed to search.myway.com. According to our research team, the Google search engine is used to deliver the results, but they are modified so that the creator of the search engine and the toolbar could promote third-party links and advertisements. This, without a doubt, is an extremely odd way to advertise. The Privacy Policy – which, by the way, is presented by Ask – informs that undisclosed third parties can collect information to help with a more personalized advertising experience. Since unknown parties are involved, we have to consider the possibility that they are unreliable, and that is another reason to delete the PUP as well.

Deleting EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar is easy. All you need to do is find the unwanted extension or application and eliminate it. Your Windows operating system and browsers already have tools integrated that can help you remove the potentially unwanted program. That being said, if the toolbar was installed along with other unwanted programs, you might benefit from employing anti-malware software. This software would automatically delete PUPs or more serious threats, but it is most important that it would help you keep your operating system and browsers safe in the future. While the suspicious EntertainmentNewsNow Toolbar is not classified as a malicious threat, its entrance proves just how easy it is for useless or suspicious programs to enter your operating system. If you employ the assistance of reliable anti-malware software, you will definitely have an easier time protecting your system and browsers.
