About KeyBar?

KeyBar 1.6 Toolbar is a community toolbar developed by Conduit that integrates with popular web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox. This toolbar is supported by advertising and is designed to display ads within the toolbar itself. It may also modify the browser's home page and search settings in order to gather usage statistics. The toolbar is often included with third-party developer programs to generate revenue from both free and paid software. During installation, users may be prompted to change their home and search pages, but these options are typically pre-selected and easily missed. If the software is uninstalled, the user will need to manually reset their browser settings. According to the End User License Agreement (EULA), the company has the right to automatically download and install remote updates, as well as collect and store information about the user's web browsing activities on their local computer. This information is used to suggest additional services or provide targeted advertising. The EULA also states that by using a Conduit software, users may allow Conduit to access, use, and collect a variety of personal and non-personal information about their internet browser, browsing habits, and computer. It is important for users to carefully consider the implications of using KeyBar 1.6 Toolbar and to review the terms of the EULA before proceeding with installation.
