Adssite toolbar is a malware infection that propagates via gaming download sites and file sharing websites. Usually it comes bundled with various annoying tools, including the Adssite Toolbar, Adsite Games, and Adsite Browser Optimizer, which are downloaded and installed without your knowledge or consent. After the installation, Adssite toolbar will generate hundreds of irritating and extremely obtrusive commercial pop-up adverts, which may create web browser instability and Internet connection slowdown. The Adssite toolbar also includes backdoor capabilities, which allow a remote hacker to gain full access to any personal or financial data stored on your PC. Immediate removal of Adssite toolbar is recommended.
