The GardeningEnthusiast Toolbar may appear under your browser's general user interface after installing a free program with the 'Express' or 'Typical' option. Computer users that love to spend time in their garden and care for flowers, trees and vegetables might want to keep GardeningEnthusiast Toolbar. The GardeningEnthusiast Toolbar toolbar is advertised on Gardeningenthusiast.com as a helpful tool for finding gardening tips and directions on how to plant and give you design ideas. However, the GardeningEnthusiast Toolbar is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), because its developers, Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc., may omit the fact that it will display promotional materials that may cover your screen. The GardeningEnthusiast Toolbar may provide users with links to modern botanical resources on the Internet, but it might clutter your screen with numerous advertisements.

The GardeningEnthusiast Toolbar may use JavaScript to show banners, pop-up and pop-under windows with recommended offers on gardening tools and clothing as well as load video commercials on YouTube and Vimeo from sponsors. The GardeningEnthusiast Toolbar may slow down your Internet browser and change your default search provider to a customized version of Ask.com that may provide you with more ads than information on your search keywords. The GardeningEnthusiast Toolbar may place its files in the AppData folder and may not appear in your 'Programs and Features' panel that could make it harder for manual removal. Also, the GardeningEnthusiast Toolbar may gather information such as your browsing history and entered search criteria and send it to advertisers for marketing development purposes. Web surfers may not like the activities of the GardeningEnthusiast Toolbar and could remove it with a renowned anti-spyware tool safely.
