PresidentialBuzz Toolbar

If you have downloaded PresidentialBuzz Toolbar, you must be really interested in the White House politics. This application (for Internet Explorer users) or extension (for Firefox and Chrome users) is meant to provide you with the latest info from the president of the United States, Donald Trump. When you install this potentially unwanted program (PUP), every time you launch the browser, you are introduced to easy-access links to sites that you are likely to be interested in. Besides that, a section of the PUP’s home page is dedicated to showing live tweets from the @POTUS Twitter account, which, of course, is the official account of the US president. This feature can be shown or hidden, depending on your preference. Due to these features, it might be hard for some to understand why removing PresidentialBuzz Toolbar is recommended. If you do not understand this either, you should continue reading this report, and if you cannot wait to delete the PUP, find the instructions below.

TaxCenterNow Toolbar, OnTargetYoga Toolbar, MyEasyLotto Toolbar, and hundreds of other apps are very similar to PresidentialBuzz Toolbar, and that is because one company, Mindspark Interactive Network, is standing behind all of them. The company has made sure that all products associated with it are represented in a transparent manner, which is why most of them have official download pages. Of course, if you go to presidentialbuzz.com/index.jhtml, you might be warned that the site is not safe to visit, and that is a sign that something is not right. Unfortunately, Google Chrome users can acquire this PUP from chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/presidentialbuzz/miaabnahanbglgkfddpagifbbhaanmaa also, and the Chrome web store is generally recognized as a reliable source for Chrome extensions. This proves that is not the case every time. Besides the official installers, the PUP could also be spread using unofficial ones that are controlled by unknown parties and that represent software bundles. Were other threats installed onto your PC along with PresidentialBuzz Toolbar? Install a trusted malware scanner, and you will soon find out if you need to delete other threats.

The suspicious PresidentialBuzz Toolbar is not actually installed as a toolbar. Instead, the installer sets hp.myway.com/presidentialbuzz/ttab02/index.html as the New Tab page and/or homepage of your web browser. At the top of the page, you can find easy-access links to nbcnews.com/politics/white-house, usatoday.com, politico.com/white-house, and facebook.com sites. At the bottom, you can view live tweets, and the center is dedicated to a search field that allegedly represents a Google enhanced search provider. Yes, the basis of the results shown is taken from Google Search, but that does not mean that MySearch – the search provider – is reliable. On the contrary, the PUP could inject sponsored content, and that is one of the biggest reasons to delete PresidentialBuzz Toolbar. After all, you do not know if the advertisers and other parties working with Mindspark can be trusted. Also, keep in mind that tracking cookies placed to track your activity and record information about you can help these parties introduce you to more attractive ads. Just keep in mind that “more attractive” does not mean “more legitimate.” If you want to learn more about the cookies used by the toolbar, we suggest reviewing the Privacy Policy, which you should have done anyway before installing the PUP.

You might think that deleting PresidentialBuzz Toolbar is an extremely complicated process, but we can assure you that it is not. The situation you are in could be complicated if multiple threats are found (use a malware scanner to figure out), and if your system is not apt to keep malware away in the future. Keeping malware away is essential, which is why we encourage everyone to install reliable anti-malware software. It also should automatically remove PresidentialBuzz Toolbar, but, of course, that depends on the software you install. Even if you successfully remove the PUP using the step-by-step instructions below, you still need to make sure that your operating system is protected, and doing that manually can be extremely difficult.
