Toolbars can definitely be helpful. Yet, one should not install just any toolbar. There are many dangerous applications. The GetFormsOnline Toolbar is one such untrustworthy utility. Security researchers classify this app as Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). This parasite is programmed to bombard its victims with advertisements. You must have noticed the increased number of commercials you are exposed to recently. This is no coincidence. The GetFormsOnline Toolbar forces them on you. This app is ad-supported. Basically, for every ad you click on, its owner will get paid. And believe us. You will see a lot of ads. The GetFormsOnline Toolbar will drown you in a sea of commercials. Every website you visit will be covered in ad banners and in-text adverts. Pop-up messages will interrupt your normal web browsing. Every time you click on a link, additional tabs will open in your web browser. On top of this, your computer will become slow and unresponsive. The malicious toolbar has never been meant as a light application. It consumes an enormous amount of computer resources. It causes some older machines to freeze and crash frequently. This, of course, leads to data loss and a lot of frustration. Spare yourself future troubles, remove the malicious toolbar now!
How did I get infected with GetFormsOnline?
The GetFormsOnline toolbar uses some well-known techniques to reach its victims. If you haven’t used its official download page, you must have fallen victim of a malicious freeware bundling. The scheme is simple. Developers attach extra apps to the installation files of many free programs. If you are not careful, you will install these “extras” unintentionally. Be vigilant! Whenever you are installing a program, opt for a custom/advanced installation option. Only under the Advanced setup wizard will you be presented with a list of all extra programs that are about to be installed. Examine the list carefully. Do some online research and read the terms and conditions/EULA. The Internet is bursting with parasites. One second of carelessness can cause you your computer’s security. Install only the apps you trust. Keep in mind that you can deselect all extras and still install the program you originally planned to set up. One can never be too careful. If you spot anything out of the ordinary, abort the installation immediately.
Why is GetFormsOnline dangerous?
The GetFormsOnline toolbar should not be tolerated. This utility ruins your web browsing. It is also jeopardizing your security and privacy. Have you noticed that all of the adverts you are exposed to recently are somehow connected to your interests and needs? This is not a coincidence. The PUP needs clicks. It won’t expose you to just any type of ads. It collects information about you and bases its adverts on that data. In other words, the PUP spies on you. It monitors your online activities and uses the collected data for ad targeting. The problem is, personally identifiable information can also be recorded. Information such as your usernames, passwords, IP and email addresses, credit card details, etc. can be recorded. Once a sufficient amount of data about you is collected, the PUP will make it available for sale to third parties. Cyber criminals and people with questionable intents may get in possession of your data-pack. Can you imagine what may happen? Nothing good comes from the GetFormsOnline toolbar. Therefore, do not hesitate to delete it. For manual removal, please, follow our detailed guide. If you prefer automated solutions, download a trustworthy anti-virus app. The sooner you delete the intruder, the better!
