EarthLink Toolbar for Windows

Used EarthLink Toolbar for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffSeptember 1, 2011

Although you might suppose EarthLink Toolbar exists only to promote the company's services, it offers value even to nonsubscribers. It blocks spyware and pop-ups and performs searches on various sites. You can, for instance, search for items on eBay and visit weather sites. The pop-up blocking didn't work very well in our tests, allowing floating ads to get through. The spyware tool also didn't prove very useful, though it offered some basic protection. We do like the antiphishing utility, which alerts you to possible Internet scams. In sum, though EarthLink Toolbar has its good points, it's not the most powerful or convenient toolbar on the market.

Simply the best

Pros
I do a lot of business on line.This is a must have tool.If you don't want the toolbar in your face you can hide it by right clicking on your toolbar and hide it.Scamblocker is a must and the pop up blocker surpasses Norton.If I had 4 thumbs I would give it 4 thumbs up but unfortunately I only have two, but they are big thumbs.No spyware, just a free toolbar to promote Earthlink.You can disable anything you want on the toolbar.Well done Earthlink! A small download at no cost.Try it.

Pros
Just easy to use. Doesn't try to do too much, or offer a complex UI. Easy to use, easy to manipulate and search with, and great at eliminating pop-ups.
