Do you know what VirtualDJ Toolbar is?
VirtualDJ Toolbar is browser plugin developed by Conduit Ltd. It is available for download at virtualdj.ourtoolbar.com. VirtualDJ Toolbar copies its name from the VirtualDJ audio and video mixing software that is created by Atomix Productions Inc. The official VirtualDJ software available at virtualdj.com has nothing to do with the Conduit Toolbar and you should not mix the two applications as well. VirtualDJ Toolbar is a potentially unwanted application, due to the fact that it could come bundled with third party programs you absolutely do not need.
This browser plugin is not the first toolbar that has been developed and released by Conduit Ltd. There is a great variety of browser plugins from the same group, including Appbario Toolbar, Z-Game Toolbar, VisualBee Toolbar and many others. Users often think that Virtualdj Toolbar and other similar applications get installed onto their computers behind their backs, and then hijack their browsers to redirect them to such pages as search.conduit.com. The truth is that, no matter where you download VirtualDJ Toolbar at - the official websites, or a third party website, the toolbar prompts you about the oncoming installation. You are also allowed to choose whether you want your home page changed or not:
Thank you for choosing to to install the Virtual Dj Community Toolbar for Windows.
Please configure the settings below. You can change them at any time.
- Set the Virtual Dj customized web search as my default search and notify me of changes.
- Set my home page to the Virtual Dj customized web search page and notifiy me of changes.
- Send me news and useful info from the toolbar and apps. (I can disable this in Toolbar Options.)
- I allow my current homepage and defaults earch settings to be stored for easy reverting later.
As you can see, you install Virtualdj Toolbar on your PC yourself. This plugin is compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome browsers, and once the toolbar gets installed, supposedly it provides you an instant access to your favorite online music websites. There are also Facebook and weather channel shortcuts on the toolbar.
