The DVDVideoSoft Toolbar is a browser hijacker classified as a PUP, or Potentially Unwanted Program. The DVDVideoSoft Toolbar is typically bundled with freeware software. The reason why security researchers consider that the DVDVideoSoft Toolbar is problematic is that the DVDVideoSoft Toolbar is often associated with various types of unwanted symptoms on a computer, many of which are more commonly observed in association with other types of threats. For example, the DVDVideoSoft Toolbar takes over a computer's Web browser in order to force it to display advertisements or redirect the computer user to websites associated with DVDVideoSoft Toolbar.
