About WhiteSmoke New Toolbar?

The WhiteSmoke New Toolbar is a browser extension developed by Conduit, and it is compatible with major web browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. This ad-supported toolbar is designed to display advertisements within the program, modify the browser's home page and search settings, and gather usage information and statistics from web search traffic. It is often bundled with third-party developer programs to support the monetization of free and paid software. During installation, users may have the option to modify the home and search pages, although these options are often pre-selected by default and are easily overlooked. If the software is removed from the user's PC, the settings will need to be manually restored. According to the End User License Agreement (EULA), the company has the ability to automatically download and install remote updates, as well as collect and store information about the user's web browsing activities locally on the PC. This information is used to interact with the toolbar application, providing targeted advertising and suggesting additional services. The EULA states, "By using a Conduit Software, you may enable Conduit to access, use, and collect a variety of information, both personal and non-personal, regarding your Internet Browser, your browsing habits, and information about your computer."
