Do you know what Vacation Xplorer is?
Have you downloaded Vacation Xplorer onto your Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer? This toolbar is great if you are planning a trip; otherwise, you certainly could find a more beneficial and useful browser plugin. Are you happy with the installed Ask Web Search software? Many computer experts think that these additional installations have been performed illegally, when in reality you were given the chance to accept or refuse the additions. This is an issue that the users of MindDabble Toolbar, MyFunCards Search, HappinessInfusion, Utility Chest and other Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. products have faced. In case you were careless during the installation of the toolbar, it does not mean that you have to remove Vacation Xplorer in order to restore previous browser settings. In fact, even if you delete the toolbar, you will still be left with the undesirable search provider and home page.
The suspicious toolbar can be downloaded from vacationxplorer.com, and you should visit this site in order to read through the Privacy Policy related to Vacation Xplorer. Of course, it is also quite possible to acquire the infection if it has been bundled with freeware that you have installed. The same goes for the Ask Web Search tools. If you believe that both the toolbar and the search plugins have been installed illegally, you should immediately scan your PC, delete potentially running malware and inform us about the illicit activity. Schemers are always looking for easy ways to corrupt personal systems and infiltrate them with malware, which is why it would not be too surprising to discover that Vacation Xplorer has been corrupted.
