The Mefeedia Toolbar is a low quality Web browser extension usually classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) due to its association with potentially threatening online content. If the Mefeedia Toolbar is installed on your computer, the affected Web browser may display a variety of problems and irritating symptoms. It is important to remember that, despite its claims, the main purpose of the Mefeedia Toolbar is to generate revenue at your expense, marketing its own shady content, displaying advertising material on your Web browser and promoting questionable online content. In most cases, the Mefeedia Toolbar is installed the majority of the time because the Mefeedia Toolbar is bundled along with freeware programs downloaded from low quality sources. If the Mefeedia Toolbar is installed on your computer, security researchers strongly advise computer users to get the aid of a certified anti-malware application to remove the Mefeedia Toolbar from the affected computer.
How to Deal with the Mefeedia Toolbar
It is important to understand that the Mefeedia Toolbar (and most, similar Web browser toolbars) is not designed with your best interest in mind. The Mefeedia Toolbar and similar toolbars are utilized to produce revenue at the expense of its victims. They are designed to force computer users to visit websites associated with the Mefeedia Toolbar in order to boost these websites' traffic and page ranking and to display advertisements on the victim's Web browser. The Mefeedia Toolbar also makes changes to the affected Web browser that are designed to convince inexperienced computer users to click on marketing links or carry out searches on low quality search engines that are actually designed to display sponsored 'search results' unrelated to the victim's query.
If the Mefeedia Toolbar is installed on your computer, the Mefeedia Toolbar should be uninstalled at once. Although, in most cases, the Mefeedia Toolbar may be uninstalled through normal means like using the Windows Control Panel or your Web browser's extension manager, it is very difficult to remove every single component associated with the Mefeedia Toolbar through normal uninstallation. Because of this, security researchers then recommend the use of a strong anti-malware program to scan the affected computer to ensure that not components linked to the Mefeedia Toolbar remain. Once the Mefeedia Toolbar is removed, may be necessary to undo certain changes made to your Web browser or system settings.
