About Somoto Toolbar?

This software installs the OurToolbar, powered by Conduit, into Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox web browsers. The OurToolbar collects and stores information about web browsing activities, which is then sent to OurToolbar in order to suggest services or deliver advertisements via the toolbar. During installation, the Somoto Toolbar may attempt to change the user's home page and search provider, and it offers a search box and various other generic features within the toolbar. Additionally, the toolbar may automatically download and install updates without user notification. It should be noted that this is a PPI (pay per install) toolbar, meaning the publisher receives compensation from Conduit for each install and for each month the toolbar remains installed in a user's web browser, with the payment amount varying based on the country of install.
