The GifsGalore program, a.k.a. GifsGalore Toolbar from Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. is proposed to active Web users who like to embed GIFs into their emails and share entertaining GIFs with friends via social media services. The GifsGalore software can be added to your Internet client for free but you need to be using Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox for the GifsGalore Toolbar to be activated. The GifsGalore app is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) considering that it is an ad-supported program that transmits data to advertisers, which circumvents protection mechanisms by extensions like uBlockorigin, Ghostery and Adblock. You should take a look at the Privacy Agreement, and Terms of Service documentation published on Eula.mindspark.com/tos/ and Eula.mindspark.com/privacypolicy/ before you keep using the GifsGalore Toolbar. Installing it on Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer means that it can:
- Access your data for all websites.
- Exchange messages with programs other than Firefox.
- Access browser tabs.
- Access your browser activity during navigation.
Installing the app on Google Chrome requires the following privileges:
- Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.
- Replace the page you see when opening a new tab.
- Read and change your browsing history.
- Manage your downloads.
- Manage your apps, extensions and themes.
The GifsGalore Toolbar changes your new tab page and start page to Hp.myway.com/gifsgalore/ttab02/index.html if you are using Firefox and IE, but it changes your new tab to Hp.myway.com/gifsgalore/ttab02/index.html on Chrome only. The Hp.myway.com/gifsgalore/ttab02/index.html Web portal includes a GIF access panel powered by Giphy.com, which avid GIF users are likely to favor. As mentioned above, the GifsGalore Toolbar from Mindspark generates revenue by using non-personally identifiable information on your PC to help marketers push targeted ads on your new tab page and pages you may load while GifsGalore is running in the background. The company behind GifsGalore makes money when users search via the GifsGalore New tab, Hp.myway.com/gifsgalore, and allow the GifsGalore Toolbar to communicate with affiliated marketers. AV engines may recognize the GifsGalore program on your system and tag related files and settings as:
