ListingsPortal Toolbar

Posted: December 10, 2015

The ListingsPortal Toolbar is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that you should not keep on your PC. This browser toolbar claims it will allow its clients to find good jobs in the area and discounts on popular products. Additionally, the creators of ListingsPortal Toolbar state that their software will keep users informed about the best restaurants nearby. The application even offers help for those people who want to plan their vacations.

Although some of the listed features may attract your attention, you should know there is a catch – the toolbar is created by Mindspark. This software developer consistently makes toolbars with a rather questionable legitimacy such as BigGameCountdown Toolbar, FileSendSuite Toolbar, TrackAPackage Toolbar and Free Radio Cast Toolbar. You may be encouraged to install these PUPs when you conduct the setup process of some freeware. These toolbars may not be appreciated by PC users because they may insert unrequested advertisements in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer.

If the ListingsPortal Toolbar gets access to your system, you may start facing many pop-ups, banners, in-text ads and interstitial ads wherever you go. The negative aspects of the new commercial materials are several, and the most serious of them concerns to promoted third-party pages. If they contain some threatening software, and you get transferred to them, your whole PC may be in danger. In addition, the presence of so many marketing materials may result in a poor performance of the Web clients, including occasional freezes. In case you allowed this PUP to enter without knowing what will follow, you should take measures to remove it immediately.
