Being a form of a malicious infection, Adware.IBISToolbar will only represent a security risk to any computer is has infiltrated.

What will do is load up with Internet Explorer, as a Browser Helper Object (BHO). This means that Adware.Bnddrive is a dynamic link library (DLL) that tends to run as soon as Internet Explorer is started. BHO’s are usually installed covertly onto an unsuspecting computer system, so as to ensure the secretive gathering of information from the infected computer to a remote controller.

In lieu of this, Adware.IBISToolbar can further be classified as a potentially unwanted adware program (PUP) that could easily be used to display various pop-up advertisements.

To ensure whether your system has been infected is to perform a full computer system scan with a legitimate anti-spyware application.

The fact that Adware.IBISToolbar can easily enter any PC system via security exploits and flaws, most times without the user’s interaction, means that it is that much easier for Adware.IBISToolbar to enter the system and ensure the system’s security is immensely compromised.
