Tips

  • If you have removed VisualBee and its toolbar, it is wise to run virus and malware scans.
  • If you have a registry cleaner such as CCleaner, you can use it to clean the registry after removing VisualBee.
  • When you download programs, make sure they come from a source you trust and look it up online if you are unsure. Unsolicited add-ons for your browser do not always have to be provided by the software developer, but by the distributor
  • When installing downloaded programs, pay attention to each step of the installation process and do not agree to additional components such as browser toolbars or special offers. Use the Custom installation option and not Express whenever you can, if you dare, and choose only those components you want.
