What is Bitlord toolbar?

If you have Bitlord toolbar installed onto Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, you need to inspect the entire system for potentially unwanted programs. The browser extension has been created by Conduit, and this company is known for distributing various unfamiliar undesirable programs together with the toolbars of your choice. You may recognize these applications as the Conduit Community Toolbars, and Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have analyzed quite a number of different versions, including the latest – Oscar Delta Toolbar, Metacrawler Toolbar and CricBuzz Toolbar. One more reason why Bitlord toolbar removal is recommended is the fact that this application is supported by unfamiliar, potentially unreliable third party advertisers. test test test

How does Bitlord toolbar act?

If you download the toolbar from bitlord.ourtoolbar.com, you are presented with an installation setup offering you to install Trovi search as well. If you check the boxes accepting the search tool to replace your regular home page and search provider settings and complete the installation process, the next time you will open your browser you will be greeted by search.conduit.com. You could call this a Conduit trick which may help distribute a truly undesirable search application. Do you know why the search engine is considered to be undesirable? It is because it does not provide beneficial services and instead redirects you to google.com/search, unless you stick to the Web search module. What is more, search.conduit.com provides sponsored search results which may link you to sites unrelated to your own search queries.

Even though most would want to delete Conduit search tools, many wish to keep Bitlord toolbar running. Regardless of how useful you find this application, our researchers have discovered that it provides links to sites which are considered questionable. For example, you may find links to PirateBay, KickassTorrent, BTJunkie Downloads and other Torrent based domains. As you may know already, these are often driven by illegal downloads, which is why they cannot be trusted. You should also beware of the displayed links to online gaming sites or the services of PriceGong and Value Apps.
