The Sole Purpose of the Sweet Tunes Toolbar is to Benefit Its Creators
The Sweet Tunes Toolbar is used to generate revenue at the expense of the computer user. Unlike rootkits and viruses, the Sweet Tunes Toolbar is not considered unsafe and is classified as a PUP. However, this does not mean that symptoms associated with the Sweet Tunes Toolbar are any less severe. The main difference between PUPs and other types of threats is that PUPs are often installed by the computer users themselves and may be uninstalled without the use of specialized removal tools. However, the symptoms caused by the Sweet Tunes Toolbar are just as irritating and intrusive as those caused by more threatening types of adware or browser hijackers. It is important to note that the Sweet Tunes Toolbar may compromise your security by including components that keep track of your online activity and browsing history.
The Removal of the Sweet Tunes Toolbar Needs to Be Done Very Carefully
If the Sweet Tunes Toolbar is installed on your computer, the Sweet Tunes Toolbar can be removed using the Control Panel (using the 'Add and Remove Programs' option in most Windows computers). However, this does not guarantee that all traces of the Sweet Tunes Toolbar may have been removed from your computer. To ensure that this is the case, ESG malware researchers recommend that computer users make use of a fully updated and reputable anti-malware scan to clean their computer.
