Remove Windows Core Toolbar by Core Systems

Windows Core Toolbar installs a toolbar in your Web browser that collects and stores information about your web browsing habits and sends this information to a remote server in order to suggest services or provide ads via the toolbar. It also may automatically download and install updates without notifying the user.

During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up (this is typically done to avoid any UAC prompts). The program adds a toolbar to Microsoft Internet Explorer. The primary executable is named browserhelp.exe. Many users end up uninstalling this after less than a month of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 9 files and is usually about 3.01 MB (3,158,272 bytes).

Installation folder: C:\Program Files\Core Systems\Windows Core Toolbar\

Uninstaller: MsiExec.exe /X{858AB62B-4851-4E89-B8CD-D54F1EB40778}
