Mindspark Interactive Network is a well known software developer who has created BringMeApps toolbar, ButterflyField Toolbar, Gaming Wonderland Toolbar, and a number of other browser plugins. Even though most of them present different tools and services, all of them represent the Ask search box leading to search.tb.ask.com. All of them offer to change the home page of your browsers to the suspicious home.tb.ask.com as well. This search engine is not exactly unreliable. Note that even though it does present sponsored search results, they are identified in a clear manner. Needless to say, this does not mean that you should click on them if anti-malware software is not installed to protect the operating system and to delete attacking infections. The toolbar itself should be handled with care as well because it does promote links to third party sources, and not all of them are trustworthy.

Unfortunately, computer users often install BringMeApps toolbar and the associated search tools without weighing their options and necessities first. Therefore, it is not surprising that some of them are not interested in the services presented by the toolbar or the Ask search tools. If you want to remove BringMeApps toolbar as well – follow the manual removal guides down below. Afterwards install authentic and reliable security tools to ensure that the necessary virtual protection is activated.
