Overall, the main reason why you should delete eGames Toolbar from the operating system is because it is no longer supported and is out of date.

If you operate Internet Explorer, the toolbar could run disorderly, and so its removal should not be postponed.
The eGames Toolbar serves two purposes. The extension has been created to promote Yahoo Search and egames.com services. If you land on this website, you will discover a variety of different offers and advertisements. Do you think that clicking on the flashy banner ads is completely harmless? In reality, there is no way to know what links these offers hide. The website does not present a Privacy Policy which could inform you about the displayed offers. It is quite possible that these are presented by third parties, which is why they may be unreliable. We also recommend being careful about the presented downloads. If you wish to install the promoted games, you should install authentic security software first. This will help you prevent the entrance of potentially unreliable programs. Note that you may need to beware of secretly bundled software as well.
