Your Packages Now is a Potentially Unwanted Program that once installed, may add an annoying toolbar to popular Web browsers such as Opera, Firefox and Google Chrome. The Your Packages Now claims to allow users to track packages and pending deliveries directly from their web browser quickly by simply providing a tracking number. Although this feature may work as expected, we must add that this isn't a unique feature since every reputable delivery company offers its users the ability to track their deliveries by providing the package number. Apart from providing a working, but a potentially useless feature, Your Packages Now also may inject unwanted advertising content in the user's Web browser.

The ads that Your Packages Now may display may be provided by 3rd-party advertisers, so the ads may include irrelevant or disturbing content that isn't suitable for all audiences. The ads used by this software may prevent users from accessing particular sections of the Web page they browse, so it is safe to say that Your Packages Now may get in the way of your regular Web browsing habits. The distribution of this dubious program may happen with the help of deceptive tricks such as software bundling – a technique that may be used to propagate Potentially Unwanted Programs and adware. Software bundles that offer to install Your Packages Now may use misleading instructions to trick users into agreeing to install the Your Packages Now software unknowingly.

If you notice the Your Packages Now toolbar in your Web browser, and you don't remember agreeing to install this application, then we advise you to remove it as soon as you can. Keep in mind that Your Packages Now isn't threatening, but its behavior can be very annoying, and the only way to fix this is to remove Your Packages Now fully with the help of a reputable anti-malware utility.
