Freeware stop pop up

Anyway, if your web browser is constantly being redirected to unwanted sites, or advertisements are popping up while you browse the Internet, then your computer or the browser itself may be infected with browser hijackers.

Yesterday was a great day, Avast officially launched their Avast Browser Cleanup, basically it is a tool that automatically scans and removes unwanted web browser extensions and add-on such as toolbars.

If you want to verify your own browsers or get rid of an unwanted toolbar, download the stand-alone tool at Avast. This is a must have tool for those visiting their parents, or a standard feature built into every single browser. Now you can remove those pesky toolbars that get installed when you download free software with avast! Browser Cleanup. It will even restore your browser settings and default search provider.

The results can be seen below, Microsoft Internet Explorer has the highest uninstall rate among all the browsers, followed by Mozilla Firefox.

It appears Google Chrome and Apple Safari have the least toolbar installed, possibly because their primary users are more tech savvy. The application does not require installation and starts looking for suspicious programs as soon as you launch it. The number of findings are displayed within a small window, along with an option to remove them all, but their names are not revealed, so as to prevent name modifications that might cause Chrome Cleanup Tool not to work as it should.
