Snap Toolbar Spyware Profile
Title: Snap Toolbar
Also Known as: Snap Desktop Toolbar, Adware. Snap_Toolbar
Severity scale:
Snap Toolbar is a spyware program disguised as a toolbar add-on for your browser. It was first discovered on Jan 8 2007. It is distributed by Idealab-Snap and is powered by the web server, snap.com.
Snap Toolbar is installed on your computer either manually or as part of an ad-supported freeware bundle. The most common bundle it comes with is from MediaMotor software. Its main ad delivery tactic is through pop-ups.
It also has spyware data mining capabilities. That is, it can search through your browsing history and monitor your browsing so it can create more user-specific advertising through the data that it collects through its server. It does this by keystroke logging and collecting information of the websites you visit.
The activity of Snap Toolbar can seriously slow down your computer’s performance. It can also potentially cause your Internet browser to crash. It also presents a potential privacy risk. Any supposed benefits it promises–in this case, browsing convenience and pop-up blocking (both redundant)–are not worth compromising your computer and your privacy.
If you are infected with Snap Toolbar, you should remove it immediately with SpyZooka.
