What is Quizulous Toolbar?

Quizulous Toolbar is a browser extension that is compatible Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer web browsers. It is a potentially unwanted application, because the toolbar is full of adware and constantly exposes users to unreliable websites. If you have accidentally installed this application on your computer, you are strongly recommended to remove Quizulous Toolbar from your computer, as potentially unwanted programs could be affiliated with third parties that distribute dangerous content. test

Where does Quizulous Toolbar come from?

This browser extension is developed by Conduit, and so it belongs to an extensive family of browser plug-in that are available for download via ourtoolbar domain. It is of no surprise that Quizulous Toolbar is very similar to Freecorder Toolbar, WiseConvert Toolbar, Travelocity Toolbar and many other similar applications that users download onto their computers willingly.

Quizulous Toolbar is of no exception. The application does not enter your system without your permission. If you do not download it from quizulous.ourtoolbar.com, then it can come bundled with any freeware installer via any third party downloader. It shows that users are responsible for most of the cases when potentially unwanted applications end up being installed on their computers.

What does Quizulous Toolbar do?

The toolbar’s behavior depends on whether you install its full setup or not. A lot of users think Quizulous Toolbar is a browser hijacker, because sometimes it changes default home page and search engine to search.conduit.com. Nevertheless, Quizulous Toolbar always informs user about the oncoming changes.

When you initiate the installation, Quizulous Toolbar installs a new extension to each browser; although it should be pointed out that every browser has a separate installer, so most probably the plug-in will be installed only on your default browser. You will also find the Quizulous Toolbar entry on the list of installed programs in Control Panel.

If, during the installation, you choose to change your home page and default search engine, it will be modified for search.conduit.com. Also, apart from adding its own extension to your browser, Quizulous Toolbar will add other affiliated plug-ins such as Value Apps. Value Apps is a coupon extension that displays various discount offers when you browse online shopping websites.

However, Quizulous Toolbar does not exactly need other applications to display commercial ads, because it is very good at doing that itself. You will be exposed to a vast number of various advertisements that promote goods of rather doubtful content.
