FunMoods toolbar gives no or little satisfaction to its users, but a profound desire to get rid of FunMoods browser extension is in place. The toolbar is but a part of the problem as occasional but inevitable redirects in the course of browser search leading to the toolbar related website burden users even more. Installs a Mindspark toolbar in your Web browser that collects and stores information about your web browsing habits and sends this information to Mindspark so they can suggest services or provide ads via the toolbar. Funmoods installs a plug-in into your browser wich modifies search results and uses aggressive marketing strategies to try and make users paid customers of their products or third products they are affiliated with through ad interjection.
