For a few years after I downloaded it, there were no pop-ups. Suddenly, I got a lot of pop-ups.

This toolbar is automatically installed with several different programs, even after you uncheck ***** during the installation process. I have installed 2 different programs that asked if I wanted to install the ***** toolbar, and in both cases I marked no but the ***** Toolbar was installed anyway. When ***** installs its toolbar even when you select that you don't want it installed, that is malware.
