Description:
Starware is a third-party Internet Explorer search toolbar that opens advertising web sites and changes default search page to site on the starware.com domain. It doesn't have additional dangerous payload. Starware doesn't distribute itself and must be manually installed. Once executed, it creates several directories, installs files there and modifies the Windows registry in order to register itself as a web browser plugin. Starware runs every time the user launches Internet Explorer. It comes with the uninstaller.
