Mindspark Interactive Network is the developer of FunPopularGames Toolbar and it has created such programs as CrazyForCraft Toolbar, YourLocalLotto Toolbar, and FreeMaps Toolbar. As you can see, this company is focused on creating toolbars, and they all work in the same way. Although all of these programs provide links to different websites according to specific themes, they all have the same interfaces, and they all promote Ask Search. This search provider is what has earned FunPopularGames Toolbar a reputation of a browser hijacker. We can tell you straight away that this toolbar is not a browser hijacker, as the search tools are installed with your permission. Of course, you still need to delete FunPopularGames Toolbar, and we advise removing Ask Search as well. The name of this search provider might raise confidence, but, in reality, the search tool provided to you could have modified search results, and it is possible that Mindspark will use it to showcase sponsored links.
