Adult Search Bar Spyware Profile
Adult Search Bar is a browser hijacker that is disguised as a browser helper object (BHO). It has many variants, as evidenced by the aliases. Adult Search Bar is ostensibly an Internet Explorer toolbar add-on. Its overt purpose is to facilitate searches for adult content.
Adult Search Bar is often installed as a drive by download on computers visiting certain websites. It can also be bundled with other software. In either case, it can install itself without your consent.
Adult Search Bar redirects your browser’s traffic to websites with adult content. It also resets your home page to one that it is programmed to choose. It can also collect user data and send it to a remote server.
Adult Search Bar and some of its variants are considered to be some of the worst ever spyware that has been on the Internet. It is highly recommended that you remove it from your computer. SpyZooka can consistently remove Adult Search Bar and its variants.
