Rally Toolbar

What is Rally Toolbar?

The Rally Toolbar browser extension is created by Bullet Media Inc. This add-on claims to enhance Internet users' browsing experience by enabling them to save and access their favourite websites, chat with Facebook and Gmail friends, etc. Note that while this browser plug-in appears legitimate, in fact it is a potentially unwanted application.

When installed on Internet browsers (Google Chrome and Mozilla FireFox), it collects information regarding websites visited and advertisements seen. Moreover, the Rally Toolbar tracks any searches performed on various search engines such as Google, Bing, Ask, etc.

This potentially unwanted application commonly installs on users' computers together with free software downloaded from the Internet.

For example, this occurs when downloading 'Free Codec Pack'. Today, many download websites and free software developers 'bundle' their downloads with additional browser add-ons and toolbars, which add little functionality and cause privacy and browser redirect issues.

To avoid installation of such unwanted browser plug-ins, users should download free software from legitimate sources only, and inspect each installation step - this will allow them to opt-out of installation of any promoted browser add-ons.

When installed, Rally Toolbar modifies the browser homepage to my.rally.io This potentially unwanted program is similar to Babylon toolbar, Delta Search Toolbar, and Snap.do toolbar.

Note that, whilst this toolbar may seem harmless, in fact it may cause serious privacy-related issues. Furthermore, it causes browser redirects. Thus, if you observe Rally Toolbar on your Internet browser/s, use this removal guide to eliminate it.
