Do you know what OnTargetYoga Toolbar is?
The appearance of a suspicious toolbar with Yoga-related buttons on your Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome suggests that OnTargetYoga Toolbar is installed on your computer. Even though it can be downloaded directly from the Chrome Web Store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ontargetyoga/bmjgcbjkkidfnefbipkbgjmddcfllbkm?utm_source=inline-install-disabled), it does not mean that all users install it consciously. Some of them say they know nothing about the installation of OnTargetYoga Toolbar, and we know they tell the truth because research conducted by our experienced team of researchers has shown that this piece of software might be distributed as one of the components in software bundles. Additionally, it might be promoted via pop-up advertisements. No matter what the reason you have OnTargetYoga Toolbar installed on your computer is, this Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. product is the same potentially unwanted application in all the cases. Because of this, we suggest that you remove it. Keep in mind that its removal is the only way to remove the page set on your browsers.
OnTargetYoga Toolbar is not harmful malware, so it does not try to stay unnoticed even though it appears on the user’s computer from a software bundle. It is impossible not to notice its installation because it immediately sets a page on all browsers it affects. This page contains a search tool powered by hp.myway.com. Also, you will find a bar with Yoga Basics, Yoga & Lifestyle, Relaxation Radio, and other buttons that redirect to third-party websites. Without a doubt, all these websites can be accessed without the help of OnTargetYoga Toolbar. We cannot promise that you could safely search for the information on the web if you use the search tool this Mindspark toolbar promotes too. There is a possibility that you will be presented with some modified search results. Theoretically, some of them might lead to dubious websites, so if you still use it, you should inspect search results returned to you carefully before clicking on any of them.
