About SweetIM Toolbar for Internet Explorer?

SweetIM Toolbar for Internet Explorer is a browser add-on designed to provide users with convenient access to various shortcuts, including games and deal pages. However, it has been identified as a potentially unwanted application due to its tendency to modify the user's homepage to home.sweetim.com and present deceptive ads that may redirect users to survey pages. This toolbar is often bundled with the free Sweet Instant Messenger program during installation and may not be uninstalled when Instant Messenger is removed, requiring manual removal by the user.
