QuotationCafe is one more toolbar that you can download from quotationcafe.com. However, lately it has been noticed to be installed to random systems without users consent. The program is always bundled with other free applications that you can download from the Internet. QuatationCafe is not considered to be malicious, but it brings many inconveniences for the user.

First of all, you will notice that your homepage and default search provider are changed. Later you will see that you are constantly being redirected while browsing the Internet. The program tries to build up traffic to certain websites this way.
