The DiscoverLiveRadio Toolbar is advertised by adware and legitimate ads as a valuable addition to browsers such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera and Mozilla Firefox. The DiscoverLiveRadio Toolbar is a product of Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc., which released the MyRadioAccess Toolbar, the Easy Radio Access Toolbar and the Your Radio Now. The DiscoverLiveRadio Toolbar is offered at Free.discoverliveradio.com for free download and usage as long as you tolerated advertisements from affiliate marketers. The DiscoverLiveRadio Toolbar may change your new tab page settings and load a customized version of Hp.myway.com, which may include ads from sponsors. Additionally, users of Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox may be urged by Mindspark to set Hp.myway.com/discoverliveradio/ttab02/index.html as their home page.

According to Free.discoverliveradio.com, the DiscoverLiveRadio Toolbar is supposed to load personalized content and suggestions from radio stations and music services such as popkwiz.com, metrolyrics.com, podiobooks.com, somafm.com and vevo.com. Web surfers can benefit from the DiscoverLiveRadio Toolbar without paying a dime. On the other hand, you might be required to disable extensions to your Internet client that block commercial offers on Hp.myway.com, which helps Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. to provide services for free. The ads on your new tab page may include questionnaires and adult-rated materials depending on your recent Internet activity. Thus, a browser that runs the DiscoverLiveRadio Toolbar may not be suitable for use by children.

The DiscoverLiveRadio Toolbar is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP).
