What is Television Fanatic toolbar?

Television Fanatic Toolbar is a browser plugin that is often considered a potentially unwanted program. There are several browser extensions called Television Fanatic, and almost all of them are used to stream TV shows via personal computer. However, Television Fanatic Toolbar does not seem to be related to any of them, as the toolbar comes from a group of browser plugins that eventually could prove to be dangerous to your system. Therefore, users are always encouraged to remove Television Fanatic Toolbar and similar extensions from their computers, preventing various malicious infections from entering their computers.

Where does Television Fanatic Toolbar come from?

Due to the fact that the full setup of Television Fanatic Toolbar modifies default browser settings, users tend to think that this add-on is a browser hijacker. However, that is not the case as the toolbar does ask for your permission when it comes to installation. Television Fanatic Toolbar belongs to the Conduit family of browser extensions, and as such it is directly related to other browser plugins, such as Freecorder Toolbar, Travelocity Toolbar, VisualBee Toolbar and others.

You can also easily download Television Fanatic Toolbar onto your computer on your own. The toolbar can be downloaded at televisionfanatic.ourtoolbar.com. It may also come bundled with freeware that you acquire at third party websites. Whichever way it would be, the point is that you allow for Television Fanatic Toolbar to be installed on your PC yourself.

What does Television Fanatic Toolbar do?

Unfortunately, although the toolbar itself is not malicious, its functionality is highly questionable. And the most disturbing fact about the plugin is that with the full setup your default home page and search engine are changed to Conduit Search. What is more, if you go through the installation process automatically, you can also end up installing TuneUp Utilities 2013 on your PC as well. TuneUp Utilities 2013 is a computer optimization program, but it is not recommended to keep it on your computer either.

Another security issue with Television Fanatic Toolbar is that it may display various pop-up advertisements that interfere with your browsing process and could eventually expose you to malware infections.
