Lottery Stream Toolbar

Posted: February 10, 2016

The Lottery Stream Toolbar comes from the infamous Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. that stands behind the EverydayLookup Toolbar and the SuddenlyMusic Toolbar. These toolbars are associated with browser hijackers and should not be welcomed by users. The Lottery Stream Toolbar may claim to offer users real-time news on lotteries around the world, but it is adware that might coat your screen with pop-up windows. Additionally, the Lottery Stream adware-powered toolbar might change your homepage and default search provider to Ask.com to claim affiliate revenue for its developers. Many products of Mindspark are known to block the native ads on non-affiliated websites to guarantee that Web surfers will be exposed to sponsored offers and promotional materials.

The Lottery Stream adware may display floating ad-boxes, banners, inline ads, and pop-under windows that invite users to install riskware such as Bellaphant and GenerationVine. Needless to say, the operations of the Lottery Stream adware may decrease your computer performance and prevent you from enjoying HD-resolution videos on YouTube and Vimeo. Moreover, the Lottery Stream adware might use tracking cookies and share non-personally identifiable data like your browsing history with third parties to generate tailor-suited ads. The Lottery Stream adware may affect Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox and not appear on your 'Programs and Features' panel. The complete removal of the Lottery Stream adware can be achieved by using a credible anti-spyware instrument.
