own toolbar to your browser. Hotbar is adware that

of browser link buttons and pop-ups. It also has a silent
update feature and can repair itself if it's only
partially removed. Antivirus software won't detect Hotbar

in the background.

that create income for the company. Apart from the
annoyance of pop-up ads, adware can also install
components onto your computer that send your personal
information including your age, sex, location, surfing
habits, buying preferences back to its home server for
marketing purposes. Hotbar is an example of adware that
monitors your internet surfing habits so it can send you

Hi

Go to the Hotbar home page and click on 'Privacy Policy' at the bottom of the page. On the next screen scroll down until you find 'Choices/Opt-Out'. You can download an uninstaller there.
