The NoteHomepage Toolbar by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. is promoted on the Chrome Webstore and notehomepage.com as a tool that enables users to create and customize notes and to-do lists online for free. The NoteHomepage Toolbar is available to Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox users. You should be aware that the NoteHomepage add-on for Firefox is not listed on the official app store at addons.mozilla.org and Firefox blocks the installation of the add-on by default. The NoteHomepage Toolbar is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) because it is an ad-supported software that may display unsolicited advertisements related to spam, "pyramid schemes," badware and pornographic media. Needless to say, the NoteHomepage Toolbar is not a kid-friendly app that you would want to install on a browser used by minors.

Before you proceed to install the NoteHomepage Toolbar, it is best to read the End-User License Agreement and Privacy Policy provided at eula.mindspark.com/eula and eula.mindspark.com/privacypolicy.
