Quick Media Converter Ask Toolbar

The Quick Media Converter Ask Toolbar, powered by ASK, is a web-browser add-on that can be added to the browser's window and/or menu. It is commonly included during the installation of other software, sometimes without prior notification. The Ask Toolbar and other applications are increasingly being bundled with programs, particularly freeware. It is typically installed during the installation of a program, and it can be easy to miss the step where the Ask Toolbar option can be unchecked. Ask.com has formed partnerships with certain software security vendors, who are compensated for distributing the toolbar alongside their software. When using the Toolbar to enter a search query, the Toolbar sends this information to Ask servers, which are used to process web search requests and return search results pages. During installation, users may be given the option to modify the home and search pages, but this option is often checked by default and may go unnoticed. If the software is removed from the user's computer, the settings will need to be manually reverted.
