Pokki (original) (raw)

Pokki is a free digital distribution platform and Windows Shell extension by SweetLabs, Inc. that alters the start menu to a look and feel like the second generation start menu used before Windows 8. The extension also adds additional functionality to the start menu including search, favorites, and popular applications. Pokki has been identified as adware by Malwaretips and as "viruses and spyware" by Sophos AV. It may be installed under other names such as Host App Service or "App Explorer".
