What is Toolbar Cleaner?
By Visicom Media Inc.
What is it?
Toolbar Cleaner is an app from Visicom Media that allows you to select various toolbars installed on your PC and remove them. It is typically installed through bundled installers but could also be installed from the Visicom Media website. Toolbar Cleaner has also been seen installing various Visicom Media programs such as MyStart Toolbar.
Why should I uninstall Toolbar Cleaner?
Toolbar Cleaner Visicom Media is designed to block non Visicom Media toolbars and browser helper objects from installing in a user's web browser (IE, Firefox and Chrome), but lacks detection for various adware toolbars.
Typical installation path: C:\Program Files\toolbar cleaner\
Description from Visicom Media Inc.“Hello Everyone, Toolbar Cleaner is now reaching 15,000 toolbars, apps, and BHO’s un-installations per day! Now, many of you want to change their browser homepage settings in addition to removing toolbars. Toolbar Cleaner would like to help you out, but there’s no way to do that automatically. It has to be done manually. Toolbar Cleaner is the best tool if you need to delete toolbars from your browser. Toolbar Cleaner is already removing over 1 million toolbars per month and among the top toolbars deleted, we find Conduit toolbars, Yahoo Toolbar, Ask Toolbar and Google Toolbar, and Bing Toolbar. However, Toolbar Cleaner does more than delete toolbars.”
