The following threats were found:

  • WebToolbar.Win32.MyWebSearch.gen
  • MyWebSearch.J (v) (not malicious)

If you have already installed this toolbar, click here to use AdwCleaner to remove the Potentially Unwanted Programs that were installed.. AdwCleaner is a very small program and doesn't require any installation.

I do not recommend installing the VideoDownloadConverter toolbar.
