CricBuzz Toolbar

CricBuzz Toolbar is a browser extension available at cricbuzz.ourtoolbar.com. It is often classified as potentially unwanted program because of its intrusive behavior. Nevertheless, this application is not a computer malware program, because it does not enter your system surreptitiously. Whether you like it or not, you actually install the extension on your computer willingly. It means that you can also remove CricBuzz Toolbar from your system whenever you want to. The things you need to be cautious about are other potentially unwanted applications that might be bundled with CricBuzz Toolbar.

One of the reasons why we are not inclined to trust CricBuzz Toolbar 100% is its associations with the Conduit family of browser extensions. It virtually functions very similar to all the other extensions from the same group, including Travelocity Toolbar, Brothersoft Toolbar, KeyBar Toolbar and so on. All of these toolbars can be downloaded from the official Ourtoolbar homepage, but more often than not they travel bundled with freeware. CricBuzz Toolbar is of no exception as well. The problem is that when such application comes bundled with freeware you may overlook all the installation options and that would result in a full installation of the application.

The full setup of this toolbar also includes search.conduit.com as default home page and search engine. Therefore, if you do not read all the installation steps and go through the setup automatically, you may end up with your home page and default search engine modified as well. That is why quite a few users think that CricBuzz Toolbar is a browser hijacker, but the browser modification is no unsolicited – you have simply overlooked it.

Officially CricBuzz Toolbar is said to be a browser extension that allows you to stay connected with the worldwide hub of cricket. The extension allows you to access live scores, live cricket commentary, news, fixtures, cricket schedule and so on. This application is compatible with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer browsers, but it will be installed on your default one.

Despite the fact that CricBuzz Toolbar is not a computer infection it is not recommended to leave it in your system. This browser extension has a very loose privacy policy that allows third parties to make use of it in order to promote their content. Not only does it include annoying pop-up ads – you may also be exposed to potentially malicious websites that distributed malware.
