The WorldofNotes Toolbar is a browser utility offered by Mindspark Interactive Network, a software publisher whose portfolio consists of mostly browser-enhancing add-ons. In this case, the WorldofNotes Toolbar is meant to provide users with the ability to use sticky notes in their Web browser, as well as to stick notes to particular pages, set reminders, and gain access to other features that can help them organize their daily tasks. While some of the features of WorldofNotes Toolbar are helpful undoubtedly, users who opt to install this program might find out that this software will ask them to permit it to apply some changes to their browser's settings.
Just like most of Mindspark’s products, the WorldofNotes Toolbar also is compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer's latest versions. Once it is installed, the toolbar will modify the default new tab page of these browsers to http://hp.myway.com/worldofnotes/ttab02/index.html automatically. While this change is not harmful, we are certain that most users would prefer to use their favorite new tab page instead of the one that the WorldofNotes Toolbar promotes.
Using the search engine that the extension offers is not unsafe since it belongs to MyWay.com, a legitimate search provider whose services seem to be affiliated with Mindspark. All searches executed through MyWay.com search aggregators will take the user to Ask.com’s search results page eventually. The only way to dispose of the changes that the WorldofNotes Toolbar brings is to take the required steps to uninstall this add-on. Manual removal is possible, but keep in mind that you also can use a credible cyber security utility to remove the WorldofNotes Toolbar. This is possible because the add-on is identified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP).
