SmileysWeLove Toolbar is a browser extension that provides you with an extensive list of emotions that you can use for your chatting sessions in Facebook messenger, your email messages and more. Although at first glance it seems that there is nothing wrong with the extension, computer security experts label it as potentially unwanted application, because it might be related to potentially dangerous third parties. If it was not your intention to have SmileysWeLove Toolbar installed on your computer, remove the toolbar right now along with other undesirable applications.

Naturally, if you have downloaded SmileysWeLove Toolbar from smileyswelove.com and installed the application willingly, there should not be any problem (although it would still be recommended to uninstall it for security’s sake). However, there is more than one distribution method for this application, and the alternative distribution methods are what worry any computer security specialist.

The problem is that SmileysWeLove Toolbar can be easily bundled with freeware applications. It is known to arrive with such apps as Delta Toolbar or Browser Defender.
