Freecorder Toolbar

Do you know what Freecorder Toolbar is?

Freecorder Toolbar is a browser add-on which you can acquire through the installer of various free programs. The toolbar can be installed on your Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox while running the installer of Freecorded 8  which a browse extension enabling you to download videos from such websites as break.com, YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Dailymotion and Myspace. It was published by Applien Technologies Inc, and it has its official website, not to mention that other freeware distributors also promote this application.

However, not only are you provided with a chance to download videos, but also can find that the settings of your browsers are changed. If you do not pay attention to the information in the installation wizard, the home page of the browsing tools will be changed to search.conduit.com. The components which you can find on the Internet Explorer’s extensions list are shown to have been published by Conduit. Even though the search results are said to be returned from Bing, we recommend that you remove Freecorder Toolbar and restore the settings of the browser in order to prevent suspicious links to advertising or sponsored websites.

If you activate a price comparison application promoted on the toolbar, you will also be provided with coupons, advertisements and other offers. According to the installer, if you do not uncheck one of the boxes given, Vault Apps will be installed. We found that Vault Apps becomes available on Google Chrome, whereas on Internet Explorer, the user is offered to enable the service of PriceGong.

Additionally, Freecorder Toolbar enables you to access Youtube, check your friends’ post on Facebook, and listen to the radio. However, in addition to these seemingly harmless links, you will find buttons directing you the websites promoting applications. One of such programs is FLV Player which downloads videos from YouTube. If you do not want to run the risk of installing an application which is bundled with other browser add-ons or extensions, ignore those links and remove the toolbar.

If Freecorder Toolbar has been installed accidentally and you do know how to remove it from the PC, we recommend that you install SpyHunter. It will kill the unwanted application and protect the system against malware and various potentially unwanted programs. However, if you prefer to remove it manually, follow the instructions provided.
