What is Mkrndofl Toolbar?

Mkrndofl Toolbar is yet another variant of the infamous Zlob Toolbar. It has been a while since a new version of this toolbar has been released, but there was a flood of them a few months back and all of them have equally unintelligible names and  the exact same functions. Mkrndofl Toolbar’s only purpose is to promote rogue anti-spyware programs. It does so by redirecting the browser to various unsolicited rogue websites, displaying popups and fake system notifications to inform the user that he is "infected", and having buttons linking to rogue websites.

None of the software or services promoted by Mkrndofl Toolbar are to be trusted: this fake adware should be removed upon detection.

    This toolbar and its components are uglier than past ones. It blocks use of the taskmgr, and when you get to it thru safe mode and admin login mkrndolf doesn’t appear to be running in the processes. Only one of the above dll’s appears. Not fun. Trying to rid myself of ot.
