Mirar Toolbar.winnb51

Overview

Mirar Toolbar.winnb51 is a variant of Mirar Toolbar.winnb51 is a variant of Mirar Toolbar. Mirar Toolbar.winnb51, also called GetMirar, is an Internet Explorer toolbar that shows related links and some versions bundle the SaveNow and SearchBar software products of WhenU.com. Lavasoft offers more information about Mirar Toolbar.

It appears that Mirar Toolbar.winnb51's installer failed during my testing. The toolbar did not show up in Internet Explorer, but the main .dll file was saved in %SystemDir% and registered as a Browser Helper Object and toolbar in the Windows registry. Repeated attempts to reinstall Mirar Toolbar.winnb51 failed.

Note: %SystemDir% is a variable (?). By default, this is C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me), C:\WINNT\System32 (Windows NT/2000), or C:\Windows\System32 (Windows XP).

From the vendor: "Mirar's related page functionality makes finding similar pages of interest as simple as a click of the mouse, there is no need to do additional searches as Mirar gathers the results for you in realtime."

"When you surf the Internet using Internet Explorer, the Software will use your Internet connection to contact NetNucleus to attempt to find pages related to the current page being viewed. Information about and links to the related pages (including search results and sponsored listings) will be displayed in the Mirar Toolbar. By choosing to download the Software and in consideration of the foregoing license from NetNucleus to you, you grant to NetNucleus the right to use your web surfing performance metrics, in whole or in part, in any non-personally-identifiable form or format. You are also accepting that NetNucleus may also deliver to you relevant contextual advertising in the form of advertisements based on URLs and/or search terms you enter when navigating the Internet. The technology used to do this automatically and anonymously identifies related pages based on the user's computer usage, and the URLs associated with the Web pages viewed. Although the Software does not intentionally provide informational messages and links relating to competitors' websites, from time to time, informational messages and links to related pages may be delivered to the Mirar Toolbar on behalf of those who are competitors of the Web pages users may be viewing, or may have recently viewed. Related pages are displayed by the Software through an automated mechanism and as such may not always match the content being displayed. NetNucleus provides these results on a best effort basis and is not responsible for mis categorizations of content. In the event that you find a mis categorization, you may notify us in writing and we may amend the listing. Due to the subjectiveness of categorization, we are not obligated to amend any listing that is brought to our attention in this manner." Source
