Remove FlashCatch by Level 9 Technology

FlashCatch is a potentially unwanted application that runs in the web browser as a toolbar and web extension. The web extension is primarily designed to take control of the user's browser in order to modify the search provider and redirect web searches to what ever search engine partner the publisher has a revenue relationship with. In doing so, the toolbar performs a number of behaviors in order to maximize the potential of a user to click on sponsored advertising through search.

The program adds a toolbar to Microsoft Internet Explorer. The primary executable is named flashcatch.dll. A majority of users end up uninstalling this less than a week of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 2 files and is usually about 8.81 MB (9,239,875 bytes).
