Even thought the search engine seems to be reliable, we recommend that you remove it from the system along with the program or add-on which has changed the settings of Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

Additionally, you should keep in mind the search engine hao123.com is not related to the toolbar bearing the same name. The Community toolbar Hao123 search is published by Conduit Ltd, and it can be downloaded from hao123.ourtoolbar.com or any other source. In the case of the Conduit’s toolbar, the home page of your browser will be changed to search.conduit.com if you do not uncheck particular check boxes while running the installer of the toolbar or some other program.
