About MP3 Rocket Toolbar?
The MP3 Rocket Toolbar, developed by ASK, is a web-browser add-on that may be added as a supplementary bar to the browser window and/or menu. It is commonly installed, sometimes without prior notification, during the installation of other software. The Ask Toolbar and other applications are frequently being packaged with programs, especially freeware. It is often incorporated in the installation process, making it easy to overlook the step where the Ask Toolbar option can be unchecked. Ask.com has established partnerships with certain software security vendors, who are compensated for distributing the toolbar alongside their software. When the Toolbar is used to submit a query, the information is forwarded to Ask servers, which are then used to process web search requests and provide search results. While the user may be given the option to modify the home and search pages during installation, these options are typically pre-checked and can be easily overlooked. Upon the removal of the software from the user's computer, the settings will need to be manually reverted.
