The Web Bar software is promoted at Getwebbar.com as the 'the world’s most convenient tool for searching and browsing your favorite websites.' Computer users that like to load and search content from several sites in one program window may be interested in installing the Web Bar software. Upon installation, the Web Bar application will be registered as a system service and may integrate with Windows as a toolbar that is placed on the top corner of your desktop screen. The Web Bar application may allow you to choose the default browser engine that you want to sue and load its Web content, but it will not let you select the amount of ads that would appear on your screen. Security authorities reveal that the Web Bar application may provide improved search capabilities, but its primary objective is to introduce users to promotions from its sponsors. The Web Bar app is an adware that can be compared to the SocialSearch Toolbar and the Hot Search Toolbar and might require administrative privileges to download updates that may include third-party software.

The Web Bar adware is a product of Web Bar Media and may gather data like your browsing history, system configuration and IP address to create a unique advertising profile that may be accessed by unlicensed advertisers. Computer users that are affected by the Web Bar adware are not advised to input their social security number, email address, and phone number into the search field of the Web Bar adware to avoid spam email and online identity theft. The sponsors of the Web Bar adware may employ pop-up and pop-under windows to deliver advertising content, and you may notice banners powered by Web Bar appearing on your favorite sites. Additionally, the Web Bar adware may minimize other program windows to focus your attention on video commercials and interrupt your work and gameplay. The Web Bar adware may not be a legitimate program, does not use encryption when connecting to the Internet and you may be exposed to Man-in-the-Middle attacks. It is important to secure your Internet traffic and remove the Web Bar adware by using a trustworthy anti-malware suite.
