Adware?

I installed the latest version a couple days ago and found that I now have "Quickstores" tool bars in all my browsers and a link on my desktop.

Was this intentionally included in the application or was the application or web site hijacked some how?

Seems fine to me, you can unselect it during installation. It seems like a thing FJ added to the installer the earn some money if the user wants to install it (not unlike the ebay link in the past).

But maybe FJ says a few words to it.

Thanks Stefan. I didn't notice an option to unselect during installation, but wasn't looking because none of the previous versions installed a toolbar. Just wanted to make sure nothing funny was going on with my machine.

The QuickStores Toolbar is included in the setup of MyPhoneExplorer. Its a optional component which can be unselected. The toolbar is integrated since a few versions. You can also uninstall the toolbar easily
