DirectionsBuilder

By GoldSparrow in Potentially Unwanted Programs

DirectionsBuilder is software that is promoted as a navigation tool, which requires integration with the Internet browser to work best. DirectionsBuilder works as a browser add-on that can be used to compile routes to desired destinations and export them as directions guides. Computer users that want to explore new commute routes, optimize their trips, and create a useful digital map for their vacation may be willing to give the DirectionsBuilder add-on a try. DirectionsBuilder has an official page that you browse at Directionsbuilder.com and determine if it meets your needs.

DirectionsBuilder is published by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. DirectionsBuilder feels, looks and behaves nearly identically to a few extensions released by Mindspark in the past, which include DirectionsWhiz, FindYourMaps Toolbar, and FreeMaps Toolbar. As stated above, DirectionsBuilder relies on browser integration to function properly. That means you should expect the DirectionsBuilder add-on to make changes to how your Internet client behaves and looks. DirectionsBuilder may support versions for well-known browsers lie Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.

The versions of DirectionsBuilder for Chrome will modify the new tab page layout and load a customized version of the search portal Myway.com that is hosted on Hp.myway.com/directionsbuilder/ttab02/. Web surfers that prefer IE and Firefox are welcomed by Mindspark to allow DirectionsBuilder make improvements to their start page as well. Firefox and IE users are given the opportunity to choose to set Hp.myway.com/directionsbuilder/ttab02/ as their default start page and new tab page. However, you don't need to install the DirectionsBuilder add-on if you wish to benefit from the features provided on Hp.myway.com/directionsbuilder/ttab02/. The customized version of Myway.com comes with quick links to various services on portals like Gasbuddy.com, Zoom.earth, Maps.nationalgeographic.com, Randmcnally.com, Mapquest.com, Zagat.com and Vayable.com.

As you probably have guessed, the DirectionsBuilder add-on is tailored to suit the needs of PC users based in the United States of America. DirectionsBuilder may not win the favor of users based outside of the US. Mindspark enables users to benefit from the DirectionsBuilder add-on for free, as long as they agree to its terms of service. You may want to know that DirectionsBuilder is ad-supported and you should expect to see tailor-suited ads on Hp.myway.com/directionsbuilder/ttab02/. Additionally, marketers may have access to your bookmarks and Internet history to determine the best deals you may be interested in. Extensions designed to block ads may be incompatible with DirectionsBuilder, and you may be suggested to disable them. DirectionsBuilder is recognized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that might ask for extensive access in the browser and send data about your online routine to marketers continuously.
