They concludes that the Mirar Toolbar product does, in fact, satisfy Sunbelt’s objective criteria for a Potentially Unwanted Installation.

Currently Sunbelt classifies the Mirar toolbar as a “moderate risk” “adware toolbar.” Mirar toolbar is marked by a number of problems including:

  • poor installation practices resulting in inadequate notice and disclosure

  • undisclosed addition of NetNucleus sites to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone
  • poor uninstallation practices, including the use of an uninstaller available only online
