PowerStrip is an additional Internet Explorer toolbar that downloads commercial content and additional files. It can automatically update itself via the Internet. PowerStrip can be manually installed or may get into the system along with some ad-supported software. Once executed, it creates a directory, drops files there and modifies the Windows registry to register itself with Internet Explorer. PowerStrip is rather unwanted than parasitical program. Nevertheless, it shouldn't be on your computer.

PowerStrip properties:
• Connects itself to the internet
• Stays resident in background
