I use alot of craft sites and they always show  download  "How tosimplified mindspark Interactive network".  This seems to be on all sites that have directions and it appears as if you must download this in order to get to videos or instructions.  I am unsur if I should do this. 
Do you have any info on this?  I also think that this site is affiliated with ak.imgfarm.com.  Can you help me?

Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!
 
I wouldn't install the Toobar from that site as it's a PUA Ask.com : https://community.webroot.com/t5/Techie-KB/How-to-Remove-Potentially-Unwanted-Applications/ta-p/40744

Just to add to Daniel's excellent advice BrightCloud classifies the site as follows:
 


and as you can see that is as a moderate risk, which is explained by what Daniel has advised.
