About BrowseSmart?
This toolbar is an ad-supported extension for Internet Explorer that injects advertising in the web browser through banner and contextual ads. It also modifies the user's home and search pages. Typically, the software is included as part of a co-bundled pay-per-install offer from a third party to generate revenue from installs. Although it is technically optional, the setup routine is designed to lead the user into agreeing to install the toolbar.
