SmileysWeLove Toolbar will definitely add its extension to all of the major browsers after the installation, which means that it is compatible with all of them.

Our specialists have found out that it might cause some danger to your system, which is why we recommend that you remove SmileysWeLove Toolbar.
How does SmileysWeLove Toolbar act?
After the installation, SmileysWeLove Toolbar will probably change your default homepage and search engine straightaway. We do not recommend using them because they might cause you some inconvenience. First of all, it has been found out that the homepage search.conduit.com includes advertisements which will be placed on the startup page of your browser. All these advertisements are not only irritating and distracting, but also might cause you some security issues. Thus, you should not click on them as you will never know where you are going to be redirected. Nowadays there are plenty of compromised websites, which means that nobody can feel completely safe. In order to reduce the risk of being infected with malicious software, you should definitely erase SmileysWeLove Toolbar from your system and install a reliable antimalware tool.
It has been also found out that Trovi search, which will replace your default search engine, is going to collect some of the information related to your browsing habits. If you read the Privacy Policy, you will notice that it is going to gather data about your search activities, the web pages that you have visited, the content that you have accessed, and a variety of other information like IP address, geographic location of the device which helps you to access the web, and similar. Even though they claim that this data will be only used for the improvement of the plugin, it still seems strange to share such data with anyone.
