Overview

BringMeSports Toolbar is a program developed by Mindspark Interactive Network. Upon installation and setup, it defines an auto-start registry entry which makes this program run on each Windows boot for all user logins. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The program adds a toolbar to Microsoft Internet Explorer. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The main program executable is 1cBar.dll. Typically most users end up uninstalling this just after a few days. The software installer includes 42 files and is usually about 10.19 MB (10,689,929 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 7 (SP1) as well as Windows Vista (SP2). While about 82% of users of BringMeSports Toolbar come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Canada.
