Do you know what Tuvaro Toolbar is?

If the home page and the search engine of your Internet browsers have been switched to truvaro.com, you must have installed Tuvaro Toolbar. The add-on is compatible with the most popular browsers – Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, and its main task is to provide you with easy access links to Bookmarked websites and allow you to perform web searches. The developer of this add-on is Montera Technologeis Ltd and you may recognize this name if you have Funmoods Toolbar, Softonic Toolbar and other browser extensions installed on your browsers. As mentioned before, the application can reconfigure your browser settings, which is why it sometimes is considered malicious. Please continue reading to learn more about the add-on and the removal of Tuvaro Toolbar.

A few excerpts from the Privacy Policy:

If you provide content to Tuvaro for public view, we may distribute that content to a wider audience by sharing it (or portions of it) with third parties so that they can publish it on their websites and other media platforms.

When you visit our website, we may send cookies (little files for your browser that identify your browser and your visit). Tuvaro also uses cookies in its advertising services in order to help publishers and advertisers manage and provide advertising across the web […] third-party advertising networks and advertisers may also use cookies and similar technologies

As you may understand already, the application can collect information regarding your browsing sessions. This is not dangerous until third-party members are included. In reality, it is unclear what information can be recorded and who can access it. Needless to say, it would be extremely dangerous to have private data leaked to cyber crooks who then could use it in malignant schemes. Have you noticed any strange pop-ups redirecting you to suspicious websites? You should not click on them because this is a security gap which could be used to infiltrate malware.

Malignant software removal is an extremely complicated task which is why we recommend having Tuvaro Toolbar delete before any damage is caused. Note that Tuvaro is not considered malicious; however, it is wise to stay cautious about third parties and their activity.
