SafePCRepair Toolbar Removal Guide

There seems to be an increase in potentially unwanted applications developed by Mindspark Interactive Network. SafePCRepair Toolbar is the newest browser extension in the group and it may be related to a variety of computer security issues. Although this browser plugin is not a malicious infection, computer security experts strongly recommend removing SafePCRepair Toolbar immediately, as the application is often bundled with third party programs that could prove to be detrimental to your system. If you are not sure how to uninstall SafePCRepair Toolbar on your own, refer to the manual SafePCRepair Toolbar removal instructions below this description.

Just like the rest of the applications from this group (including Zwinky Toolbar, MyScrapNook Toolbar, Utility Chest Toolbar and so on), there are at least two ways to install SafePCRepair Toolbar on your computer. First, it can be downloaded at safepcrepair.com/index.jhtml. It is the official website for SafePCRepair Toolbar and there you are told that from just one toolbar you can fix and clean up your computer. Based on the product description, this application can remove the junk that drains your PC performance, free up memory, fix errors, totally optimize your PC and so on. It also says that SafePCRepair Toolbar is compatible with Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer web browsers.

Apart from that, SafePCRepair Toolbar can also come bundled with freeware, especially when you download free of charge software applications from third party websites (such as Softonic or cNet). SafePCRepair Toolbar is known to come bundled with DailyBibleGuide, FunwebProducts, HeadlineAlley toolbar and so on.

Some users may consider SafePCRepair Toolbar to be a browser hijacker, because if you install a full version of this application, your default home page and search engine are changed for search.ask.com. Ask.com is actually a legal search engine, but the company has left the search engine business more than two years ago. Hence, Mindspark Interactive Network employing a search engine that is no longer supported by the official developers is rather suspicious.

To put it simply, SafePCRepair Toolbar is a browser plugin that could bring more trouble than benefits, especially considering the fact, that you cannot really optimize your PC unless you pay $29.95, and this toolbar supports third party advertisements that could be serious security threats, especially if it gets exploited by malevolent third parties.

To remove SafePCRepair Toolbar, make use of the manual removal instructions below. However, once you are done, run a full system scan with SpyHunter free scanner in order to make sure that you have terminated all the potentially dangerous applications. Do not hesitate to invest in a reliable antimalware tool if need be.
