Brothersoft Toolbar

The Brothersoft Toolbar is a community toolbar developed by Conduit, designed to integrate with popular web browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. As an ad-supported program, it displays advertisements within the interface and may modify the browser's home page and search settings to capture web search traffic while collecting and aggregating usage information and statistics. Typically bundled with third-party developer programs, the toolbar aims to monetize free and some paid software. During installation, users may be prompted to modify the home and search pages, although these options are often checked by default and overlooked. If the software is removed from the user's PC, the settings will require manual reversion. According to the End User License Agreement (EULA), the company is authorized to automatically download and install remote updates, collect and store details about the user's web browsing activities locally on the PC, and use this information to suggest additional services or provide more targeted advertising. The EULA also states, "By Using a Conduit Software you may enable Conduit to access, use and collect a variety of information, both personal and non-personal, regarding your Internet Browser, your browsing habits, and information about your computer." It is important for users to consider these implications before using the Brothersoft Toolbar.
