What is Premier Download Manager Toolbar?

Premier Download Manager Toolbar is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that is usually downloaded from the official website thinking that it’s a very useful tool. It is presented as an app that is capable of helping people manage their downloads. While we can’t guarantee that this program is useless in that, you should know that it may also initiate unwanted activities on your PC as well. This has already made security experts label this program as a ‘potentially unwanted program.’

This program may start causing annoying pop-up ads, redirects to unknown web pages, slow downs, and similar inconveniences. Some of these ads may be labeled as ‘Ads by Premier Download Manager’ or ‘brought to you by Premier Download Manager,’ while other ones may have no label. In most of the cases, they are displayed when seeking to make people visit unpopular third party websites. However, you should be very careful with these redirects because they may trick you into visiting suspicious websites that may be used for spreading questionable programs. Even the developer of this app warns that:

You hereby acknowledge and agree that by using an MS Product you may be exposed to Content that may be offensive, indecent or objectionable in your community […]
MS Products are exposed to various security issues, and should be regarded as unsecure. By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge and accept that the MS Products and any information you download or offer to share by means of an MS Product, may be exposed to unauthorized access, interception, corruption, damage or misuse, and should be regarded as insecure. You accept all responsibility for such security risks and any damage resulting therefrom.

In addition, you may also start noticing that each of your web browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox) started running slower than previously.

If you want to keep your search queries, mostly visited websites, data that you enter on each of these sites and similar information private, our recommendation would be to remove Premier Download Manager Toolbar from your computer. It’s not hard if you follow a guide that is given in the Page2.

How can Premier Download Manager enter my computer?

Premier Download Manager Toolbar can be installed either consciously or accidentally. As we have already mentioned, we don’t recommend downloading this program because it may start various unwanted activities on your computer, including redirects to unknown pages, slow downs, and similar inconveniences. Also, you may install this program on your PC system in a bundle with other programs, so you should be very careful when downloading various download managers, PDF creators, and similar applications. BY saying ‘careful’, we think about collecting as much information about the program that you want to install as possible. Please, look for other people’s reviews, check Privacy Policy, End user’s license agreement, and other information. If you see something suspicious, you should look for another program. Also, select Custom or Advanced installation options when installing programs on your computer. They will help you to see what hidden components (also known as optional) are trying to get inside your PC system unnoticed. Of course, you should opt out of every browser add-on, plugin, extension or toolbar. You should also never agree with the offer to change your start page or default search engine. If you have already noticed that your start page (also known as home page) or default search engine was altered, you should check your PC for Premier Download Manager Toolbar.

Recently, the developer of this program contacted us asking us to remove this post from 2-spyware.com website. We believe that we shouldn’t do that as long as programs that we offer for the removal of Premier Download Manager Toolbar can detect it and help users to remove it from the system. As it is mentioned under each of download buttons, we ARE affiliated with these anti-malware programs, and while some of them are free, others can remove a virus only after purchasing them. These mentions fully fulfill each of the requirements of FTC.

Nevertheless, we have recently decided to make a revision of this and other posts that are related to this developer. We claim that all of them are described properly.
