9/24: Adware-LesToolbar an Adware Program
September 24, 2004

Adware-LesToolbar is not a virus or trojan, but a direct-marketing adware application. This application generates extra pop-up ads while using Internet Explorer.

This kind of application generally comes bundled with another program, which usually discloses the fact that it is ad-supported. Users agree to have the Adware installed in the license agreement, although they may not realise at first that this file was packaged with the product they installed.

More information is at McAfee page.
