The NoteHomepage Toolbar is a piece of software published by Mindspark Interactive Network. This browser toolbar is meant to provide users with a neat and convenient utility that will allow them to create shopping lists, keep notes, to-do lists, manage projects and tasks, and store other text-based information. Furthermore, all notes created and stored with the NoteHomepage Toolbar can have their font size and color changed, therefore allowing users to arrange their notes conveniently.

The website that the NoteHomepage Toolbar uses to replace the default new tab page is a customized search engine part of the MyWay.com family of search pages. Unsurprisingly, the variant linked to the NoteHomepage Toolbar includes the note creation and editing tools that the extension promotes, and it also includes a weather widget, quick links to popular websites, and some other tools linked to making and managing notes. Just like all other MyWay.com search pages, this one also uses the Yahoo search algorithm to deliver results, and users who install the NoteHomepage Toolbar will not be at risk of seeing fraudulent search results.
Several publishers of computer security tools classify the NoteHomepage Toolbar as a Potentially Unwanted Program. This does not mean that the application is harmful or potentially problematic. In fact, users who are happy with its features are welcomed to continue using its services. However, if you don't want to continue utilizing the NoteHomepage Toolbar or if you did not installed this software intentionally, then you may be interested in learning how to remove it.
