Live Player Toolbar

Although the Live Player Toolbar is marketed as a helpful way of accessing videos and carrying out searches directly from the Web browser toolbar, the Live Player Toolbar actually causes a number of unwanted symptoms that make its supposed benefits not worth the trouble.

This search engine will not give you legitimate search results and includes a high number of sponsored search results that rarely are related to the searches carried out. Because of this, computer users should refrain from installing the Live Player Toolbar and remove the Live Player Toolbar from their computer if the Live Player Toolbar has already been installed.
