Bitlord toolbar

Bitlord toolbar is a potentially unwanted application from Conduit family. It is a huge group of browser extensions else known as Community toolbars. All of them can be downloaded at their domain via ourtoolbar.com. Bitlord toolbar is of no exception as well, the official website for the toolbar can be accessed via bitlord.ourtoolbar.com. However, you should not install the toolbar on your computer unless you really think that it could be useful.

Do not misunderstand here – Bitlord toolbar is not a malicious computer infection. It does not enter your system surreptitiously and it does not intend to steal your data or anything like that.

The same can be applied to all the other applications from Conduit group, including Brothersoft Toolbar, KeyBar Toolbar, Travelocity Toolbar and others. These browser plugins are not direct threats, but their association with third parties could cause some problems.

Despite the fact that Bitlord toolbar can be downloaded at the official website, the toolbar is also often bundled with freeware. It may seem that it can improve your overall browsing experience, but should you install the full version of the application, your default browser settings will be changed. Your home page and search engine will be changed for search.conduit.com, and Bitlord toolbar will install additional add-on called Value Apps as well. What is more, it may also display commercial ads and various pop-ups that are generated after having processed your browsing history.

This brings us to yet another fact about Bitlord toolbar – the application can employ cookies to collect data on your web browsing habits. Actually, quite a few browser extensions do so to improve their service and that is not illegal. Nevertheless, the application cannot ensure the safety of the data collected, and in the worst case scenario it might be leaked to a third party for marketing purposes.
