The ToolCube software by ToolCube Ltd. is promoted on ToolCube.net as a useful all-in-one widget that includes links to your favorite programs, online stores and social media. The ToolCube software is free to use and may arrive in your system incorporated with a free program setup file. The useful functionality of the ToolCube widget does not expand from placing a few shortcuts in a small box on your desktop, but users may experience slower computer performance and see many ads being loaded in their Web browser. Security researchers warn users that the ToolCube widget is adware and may use tracking cookies, Web storage data and discover your approximate geographical location to show related deals and offers.
