About Sopcast Ask Toolbar?
Sopcast Ask Toolbar, powered by ASK, is a web-browser add-on that may appear as an additional bar in the browser's window or menu. It is commonly installed, at times without notification, during the installation of other software. The Ask Toolbar and other applications are increasingly bundled with programs, particularly freeware. It is typically installed in conjunction with a program and the option to deselect the Ask Toolbar is easily missed. Ask.com has formed partnerships with various 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. Ask.com utilizes this information to process web search requests and provide search results to the user. During installation, the user may have the option to modify the home and search pages, although this is often preselected and overlooked.
