Toggle Toolbar

There are cases, when users install programs they do not need on your computer unwittingly, and then they need to deal with various consequences. If you have Toggle Toolbar installed on your browser, chances are that you did not intend to have this application on your computer in the first place. This toolbar is not a malicious infection, but it could be related to a number of security threats. As a result it is classified as potentially unwanted program and so you are highly recommended to remove Toggle Toolbar from your computer immediately. This way you would avoid various security risks.

Once again, it is important to emphasize that Toggle Toolbar is not a computer malware application. Users often download the toolbar themselves at toggle.ourtoolbar.com (the official website) or at any other third party website that hosts freeware applications. Downloading the toolbar at third party websites may present a little bit more of security issues, because in such cases Toggle Toolbar may come bundled with additional software that could prove to be dangerous. Actually, even if you download Toggle Toolbar at the official website, it still offers to install such additional programs as TuneUp Utilities 2013 and Registry Reviver.

What is more, if you go through the installation process automatically, it is very likely that your browser settings will be modified as well. If you check all the setup boxes without reading them, you will change your home page and default search engine to Conduit Search. This home page is embedded with commercial advertisements that could get exploited by a malicious third party. It means that Toggle Toolbar is susceptible to malicious misuse due to the fact that it is rather vulnerable.

Most of the time such browser extensions are not responsible for a third party content displayed on their advertisements, so if you want to avoid possible malware infections, and to restore the optimal web browser speed, you need to remove Toggle Toolbar from your computer right now.
