Although people may like free products, installing the free Web toolbar MyNewsGuide may turn out to be a mistake. This application possesses the distinctive features of a Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs). For a start, you should know that most often people may not download MyNewsGuide Toolbar from free.mynewsguide.com, which is the official product's page. This PUP may get access to the system bundled with some other freeware. To prevent the installation of this questionable application, you should be attentive during the setup process. If you perform this task through the 'Advanced' menu, you may see that the MyNewsGuide Toolbar is advertised as a reliable source of information. All this toolbar does is offer you some buttons that lead towards news sites. You can always visit these pages manually, so the benefits of this application are very limited. The questionable functionality of this PUP is not the only reason not to keep it.
In addition, the MyNewsGuide Toolbar may come with a series of side effects, most noticeable of which are the new commercial materials undoubtedly. The MyNewsGuide Toolbar may insert some additional pop-ups, banners, and sponsored animations to Web pages to boost the Internet traffic towards its partners. Many PC users may deem these ads as annoying because they may be found on the majority of sites. Moreover, you may face the same marketing elements regardless of the type of your browser – the MyNewsGuide Toolbar may appear on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer simultaneously. Some of the sponsored platforms may be unsafe, so you should be very careful with the ads. The presence of this PUP may worsen the performance of the Web clients and cause some freezes or crashes. Although the application is pretty tiny, it may be hard to remove, so you should use a special security tool.
