ZoneAlarm Security Toolbar on IE and Chrome

Conduit's ZoneAlarm Toolbar is a browser extension that seamlessly integrates with popular web browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. This ad-supported program is designed to display advertisements within the browser, modify the homepage, and capture web search traffic, while also collecting and aggregating usage information and statistics. The toolbar is commonly bundled with third-party developer programs to help monetize free and some paid software. Upon installation, users may be prompted to modify their home and search pages, although this is typically checked by default and can be easily overlooked. If the software is later removed, users will need to manually revert their settings back to their original state. According to the End User License Agreement (EULA), the company automatically downloads and installs remote updates, as well as collects and stores details about the user's web browsing activities locally on the PC. This information is used to interact with the toolbar application, suggesting additional services and providing more targeted advertising. Users who opt to use Conduit software may enable the company to access, use, and collect various information about their internet browser, browsing habits, and computer.
