HeadlineAlley Toolbar Image
The HeadlineAlley Toolbar is a Potentially Unwanted Program/toolbar, which is produced by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. Its website, Headlinealley.com describes the HeadlineAlley Toolbar as a 'must-have Chrome New Tab for any news lover.' However, the HeadlineAlley Toolbar may be added to Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. While the HeadlineAlley Toolbar can help Web users who are interested in the latest news and gossips, it may prove to be unnecessary for some computer users. HeadlineAlley Toolbar may also send its search results by using the search bar through the site MyWay.com acting as a generic search engine. Computer users that have installed the HeadlineAlley Toolbar on their machines but don't find it useful may wish to remove the browser extensions linked to it manually or deal with the PUP with the help of software that specializes in the removal of potentially unwanted web browser add-on extensions.
