Jookz Toolbar is an unsafe toolbar which is usually installed without an infected computer user's knowledge when installing other applications. When installed on a targeted PC, Jookz Toolbar adds itself to your web browser as a default search engine, and adds a Jookz Toolbar accessory search page jookz.toolbaroptions.com or jookzsearch.com as your homepage. Jookz Toolbar can trace the websites you have visited and transmits the gathered data to its home server for commercial purpose. Jookz Toolbar will change your homepage, and you will not be able to you change it back. Jookz Toolbar is able to replace your search engine; so, if you want to search something from Google, Jookz Toolbar reroutes you to Jookz search engine so you cannot find any valuable information. Jookz Toolbar also tries to download and install screen savers on your machine and reroutes you to advertisement websites that sell rogue anti-spyware tools. Delete Jookz Toolbar immediately upon detection.
