How to Uninstall Audio To Audio Toolbar
So you’ve installed a freeware program only to find that now your browser has a new toolbar called Audio To Audio and your homepage gets redirected to home.tb.ask.com. Worse still, the toolbar appears in every single one of your browsers. Congratulations! You’ve just been infected with Audio To Audio browser highjacker, which is an annoying piece of malware. Luckily, it’s possible to uninstall Audio To Audio Toolbar without you having to do anything drastic, like reinstalling Windows.
Why You Should Uninstall Audio To Audio Toolbar
For some users having their search and homepage redirected is not such a big deal. And tolerating a toolbar doesn’t seem to bad either. But, if you value your privacy, you should uninstall Audio To Audio Toolbar the moment you see it appear. Here is why.
Audio To Audio Toolbar (and other toolbars that install themselves without your knowledge) are not as harmless as they seem. First of all, it will display ads and sponsored search results to make you click the links it wants. Worse still, it will collect search terms from your queries and pass that information to its owner. Add to that the fact that you can’t be sure if your passwords and logins are not collected as well, and you’ll see why you should remove Audio To Audio Toolbar immediately.
