OnlineCasinoExtra.com

Even though OnlineCasinoExtra.com proudly claims to be a top site for finding information about online gambling resources, there have been reports of OnlineCasinoExtra.com's toolbar hijacking web browsers and monitoring surfing habits so that OnlineCasinoExtra.com can deliver interest-based advertisements... with or without your permission. If you've installed an OnlineCasinoExtra.com toolbar or have had contact with an OnlineCasinoExtra.com-related website, re-securing the safety of your PC is only a system scan away, as long as you have appropriate anti-malware scanners.

OnlineCasinoExtra.com – Extra Trouble for Your Browser and Little Else

OnlineCasinoExtra.com markets itself as an informational source and link repository that enables easy access to quality sites – specifically sites of the gambling variety. Unfortunately, OnlineCasinoExtra.com's real purpose is to serve as a front for promoting its toolbar, which pretends, in turn, to 'enhance' your web searches in exchange for a few selectively-targeted advertisements.

The reality of OnlineCasinoExtra.com's toolbar is that OnlineCasinoExtra.com doesn't offer benign results that would be found on safe search engines or offer any other type of positive feature. Instead, the OnlineCasinoExtra.com toolbar causes the following issues, all of which are standard for toolbars like itself:

• OnlineCasinoExtra.com's toolbar will block PC security programs that could detect or remove the OnlineCasinoExtra.com toolbar as a threat to your PC.
• Unauthorized changes to your Windows Registry will also be made and will remain on your computer unless reverted by manual methods or (preferably) by anti-malware software.
• The OnlineCasinoExtra.com toolbar will, instead of offering you suggestions or advice about ideal websites, take over your browser and redirect it to sites that profit OnlineCasinoExtra.com's web masters.
• OnlineCasinoExtra.com's toolbar will monitor which websites you visit and the duration of your visits.
• Lastly, OnlineCasinoExtra.com's toolbar uses information about you that OnlineCasinoExtra.com gathers to load advertisements that are supposedly-related to your web-browsing interests. These advertisements should be considered potentially-harmful and may display inaccurate warning messages or use phishing attacks to steal information.

Walking Away from OnlineCasinoExtra.com's Gamble with Your PC's Health

Since the presence of OnlineCasinoExtra.com's toolbar on your PC can result in inadvertent exposure to hostile sites and hostile advertisements, as well as reduced functionality for your security software, SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend immediate deletion of the OnlineCasinoExtra.com toolbar if OnlineCasinoExtra.com is on your computer. This should be done with dedicated anti-malware programs, since components of OnlineCasinoExtra.com's software and setting changes may remain intact if the OnlineCasinoExtra.com toolbar isn't removed by appropriate software.

If you've given away personal information to advertisements or sites that are promoted by OnlineCasinoExtra.com (such as e-mail addresses or phone numbers), SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend that you consider this information to be potentially-compromised until you've verified otherwise. If possible, changing passwords, e-mail addresses and other types of mutable information is preferable to avoid potential account hijacks, spam e-mail and similar attacks.
