What is "Mindspark"?

And why does it want to invade my computer? It doesn’t seem to be adware or malware, but Malwarebytes doesn’t like it, Precious. What purpose does it serve? Benefit? Am I losing out by blocking it?

Do you have a toolbar you didn’t have before?

Wikipage.

If you didn’t actively want it, I’d uninstall it.

You probably installed it by not ticking a box on something that you did want. Maybe an update to an existing program.

It is important to read all those screens that come up when you do an install, or you will end up with all kinds of useless and annoying, but probably not actually harmful, stuff. For example, I nearly installed Mcafee this morning with a update

I did a search, but mainly saw the company website and some message board responses. Thought I’d ask people who actually know something. If anybody didn’t uncheck a box, it’s the Ms. She is awful about not doing that and we end up getting all kinds of glurge, which I then have to unsubscribe from. I have none of that crap on my laptop; it’s only on the PC. I was able to block some of them, but will likely have to go in and do a removal.
