connectSo Toolbar Removal Guide

Do you know what ConnectSo Toolbar is?

ConnectSo Toolbar is an extension which can be installed onto Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers from connectso.ourtoolbar.com. The plugin has been developed by Conduit Ltd., a well-known software distributor which has been mentioned in the reports analyzing Quizulous Toolbar, Guffins Toolbar, IQmango Toolbar, and other infamous browser extensions. It is recommended that you delete ConnectSo Toolbar because it is considered to be a browser hijacker which can change your home page (search.conduit.com) and default search provider (ConnectSo Customized Web Search). If you do not remove the hijacker from the system, there is a chance that you will face virtual security risks soon enough. Do you want to learn more? Then continue reading.

Did you know that ConnectSo Toolbar comes bundled with Wajam, Value Apps, PriceGong and Search Protect? If you have found out about this after installing the toolbar onto the browser, it is most likely that you did not pay close attention to the installer setup. If you had, you could have un-checked the box indicating that you agree to install Trovi search tools, Search Protect and Wajam. Unfortunately, Value Apps and PriceGong are installed regardless of your wishes, and we recommend that you act extremely carefully with these extensions. It is most important that you do not click on their icons and then select ‘OK’, because this is what will enable them to spy on you and flood your browsers with various online offers.

Do you find the ConnectSo Toolbar useful? If you do not, there is no reason why you should keep it running on your browsers. You should also reconsider the benefits of the so-called Trovi search tools, which are better known as Conduit search tools, Wajam and other additionally installed applications. Do you know how to remove all of these programs at the same time? All you need to do is install a legitimate malware remover which could delete these automatically. We recommend SpyHunter because after deleting all existing threats and potentially undesirable software this program will ensure that the operating system is reliably guarded against those threats which you may face in the future.
