The AtoZManuals Toolbar is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) whose development and distribution is in the hands of Mindspark Interactive Network, a software publisher whose name is linked to a large number of PUPs with questionable functionality and reliability. The AtoZManuals Toolbar claims to be a Google Chrome extension that can help users find user manuals for thousands of products and gadgets that can be found in many households. However, the AtoZManuals Toolbar's helpfulness isn't as great as it sounds because all of these manuals can be accessed for free via a quick search using Google. Apart from not being as helpful as it should be, the AtoZManuals Toolbar also may lead to unwanted modifications to Google Chrome's settings as soon as the toolbar is installed.
The AtoZManuals Toolbar may change Google Chrome's new tab page to a search provider found at the following page http://hp.myway.com/atozmanuals/ttab02/index.html. This website isn't linked to any suspicious activities, and its search features do, in fact, work. However, the search results it provides may be found below several advertisements that may sometimes be irrelevant to the topic you are looking for.
Since the AtoZManuals Toolbar doesn't contribute a lot to your Web browser's performance and functionality, you may be interested in removing it. There are two ways you can take to deal with this issue – removing the AtoZManuals Toolbar from the list of active Google Chrome extensions or by using an anti-malware solution since they are able to eliminate Potentially Unwanted Programs from the scanned computer.
