MetroHotspot Toolbar Removal Guide

MetroHotspot Toolbar is a browser plugin that promises to enable you access free online classifieds, find local events, and get dining recommendations. Many computer users think that this software will enhance their web browsing; however, many of them notice very soon that MetroHotspot Toolbar is not as beneficial and powerful as it claims to be. If you have also already noticed that this browser plugin is rather useless, you can simply get rid of it any time. We understand that you might not know how to remove this browser plugin, so we have prepared the manual removal instructions for you. Before the removal of MetroHotspot Toolbar, it is advisable to read through this article first in order to get all the necessary information.

This browser plugin does not differ from other toolbars developed by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. It means that it enters the system and changes homepages and search providers to ask.com. In fact, users have an opportunity not to agree with that; they simply have to uncheck one box during the installation process. If you usually keep clicking the Next button instead of reading all the provided information carefully, it is not surprising that you see the presence of ask.com. We cannot say that it is an untrustworthy search provider, but we still think that it would be best to remove it together with MetroHotspot Toolbar and then set another trustworthy search provider and homepage. We will explain you how to do that further in this article.

If you see the presence of MetroHotspot Toolbar on your Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, and your homepage has been set to ask.com, there is no doubt that you have encountered one of the Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. toolbars. Unfortunately, a bunch of other untrustworthy programs might have entered your system as well if you have downloaded MetroHotspot Toolbar from an untrustworthy third-party website. All these undesirable programs might cause harm to the system. We do not think that you want this to happen, so we recommend removing them as soon as possible. Unfortunately, you might find it really difficult to do that yourself, which is why we recommend scanning the system with a trustworthy scanner.

We do not think that you like seeing the presence of MetroHotspot Toolbar on your browsers. If we are right, you should know that you can remove this software whenever you want to. Our instructions will help you to do that (see below) or you can scan your system with SpyHunter. Of course, you can use another scanner as well, but you should not forget to make sure that it is 100% trustworthy.
