On Internet Explorer there has always been the possibility of installing new toolbars, i.e. menu bars with buttons dedicated to the use of a particular website. Any site can create toolbars very easily and can advertise them among its web pages. The most famous Toolbar is that of Google which allows you to search on the search engine without having to access the main Google homepage. The toolbars are an excellent way to force inexperienced web surfers, who still use Internet Explorer as a browser, to visit their site and constitute one of the most notorious deceptions to bring visits, absolutely to be eliminated .
With modern browsers such as Firefox, Chrome and even Internet Explorer, the toolbars have basically become obsolete, but the programs, so-called crapware, which modify the behavior of browsers, for example by changing the homepage or the default search engine or by showing more advertisements, come in the form of hidden extensions and plugins.
Toolbars often slow down the loading of Internet Explorer and other browsers, cover space and, at times, also open very dangerous security holes . The most famous toolbars, often included in the downloads of free programs, are the Yahoo !, Google, Facebook, AOL, Ask, Nero, Wikipedia and many others. Most of the time, users are informed of the installation of a toolbar; at other times, however, they are installed without user approval.
