    Cliff Bar by FindWide is a potentially unwanted program that may install toolbars into all of your installed browsers and modifies the browser's default search settings. When changing the search settings, Cliff Bar will change it to to various search providers such as http://search.yahoo.com/, http://search.findwide.com/, and a search provider called eShield.
    While installed, Cliff Bar will monitor your surfing habits, sites you visit, and collect other non-personally identifiable information while you use your web browsers. Though, I could not find a site associated with Cliff Bar, the FindWide privacy policy states:
    We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or other's rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
    It is important to note that the Cliff Bar is bundled with and installed by free programs that did not adequately disclose that other software would be installed along with it. Therefore, it is important that you pay close attention to license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers youÂ*CustomÂ*orÂ*AdvancedÂ*installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed. Furthermore, If the license agreement or installation screens state that they are going to install a toolbar or other unwanted adware, it is advised that you immediately cancel the install and not use the free software.
    In my opinion, Cliff Bar was created solely to generate revenue generated by searches on their search engine or partner engines. Furthermore, by monitoring the browsing habits of their users they are able to utilize this information to generate more revenue from advertisements. If this is not something you wish on computer, you can use this guide to remove all remnants of the Cliff Bar Toolbar and any other associated programs for free.
