About AF-HSS Toolbar?

The AF-HSS Toolbar, developed by Conduit (Community OurToolbar), is a browser extension available for both Internet Explorer and Firefox. The toolbar is designed to enhance the browsing experience by collecting information about user's web habits and utilizing this data to offer personalized services and targeted advertising. Users should exercise caution during installation, as the toolbar may attempt to modify the home page and search provider settings. If these changes occur, they must be manually adjusted post-uninstallation. Additionally, the toolbar may automatically download and install updates without user notification. It is important to note that the toolbar collects and stores browsing information locally on the user's device, which may be used to provide relevant ads and services. However, only generalized data is transmitted to servers for analysis.
