About Serif PhotoPlus Toolbar?

The Serif PhotoPlus Toolbar, developed by Conduit, is a browser plugin that integrates with popular web browsers including Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox.

Often bundled with third-party developer programs, the toolbar helps monetize both free and some paid software. During installation, users may be prompted to modify their home and search pages, with default selections often overlooked, necessitating manual reversion of settings upon removal. The End-User License Agreement (EULA) stipulates that the company will automatically download and install remote updates and collect and retain user web browsing activity details locally to facilitate interaction with the toolbar application, suggesting additional services or providing targeted advertising. The EULA also includes language allowing Conduit to access, use, and collect various personal and non-personal information about the user's internet browser, browsing habits, and computer.
