The HomeworkSimplified Toolbar is advertised on Homeworksimplified.com as an advanced toolbar that can help students advance in their studies significantly. The HomeworkSimplified Toolbar is made by the infamous Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc., which we have mentioned in our reports on the Elite Unzip Toolbar, the GetFormsOnline Toolbar and a dozen more. The HomeworkSimplified Toolbar is offered to users that wish to improve their learning curve and develop valuable skills like communication, problem analysis and problem-solving. Unfortunately, that drive to improve may be hindered by the advertisements shown on pages loaded by the HomeworkSimplified Toolbar. The HomeworkSimplified Toolbar is part of the Mindspark Toolbars family of software that is ad-supported and may use persistent tracking cookies.

The products of Mindspark are free to use by users, and their development is sponsored by marketers that may have access to data like your recent searches on Google, purchases on Amazon and bookmarks collection. That type of data may be analyzed through algorithms to allow marketers related to Mindspark to improve their product positioning on pages you visit. Putting it into other words, the HomeworkSimplified Toolbar may allow third parties to track your online activity on pages without encryption and load custom-made ads.

Researchers report that the HomeworkSimplified Toolbar may change the user's new tab page design and home page settings. The HomeworkSimplified may set the Hp.myway.com/homeworksimplified/ttab02/index.html page as a starting point for the user's online session and default new tab layout. Students may find links on Hp.myway.com/homeworksimplified/ttab02/index.html to portals like Historymatters.gmu.edu/browse/wwwhistory/, www.sparknotes.com/sparknotes/ and www.wolframalpha.com. The HomeworkSimplified Toolbar may be appealing to some users, but it is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may cover your browser with ads when you visit Hp.myway.com/homeworksimplified/ttab02/index.html. You might wish to use an anti-spyware instrument to remove all data related to the HomeworkSimplified Toolbar.
