Qutrit Deskbar is a spyware program disguised as a deskbar and browser toolbar.  It was first discovered on January 8 of 2007.  It is distributed by Qutrit
from their website at qutrit.com.  It has to be manually downloaded to your computer, and it is often bundled with Qutrit’s other software.

Qutrit Deskbar’s disguise as a toolbar offers specified searches for daily news, web directories and blogs.  In reality, it directs your browsing to its affiliate websites.

Worse than that, it monitors your browsing habits and search inquiries.  This is supposedly with the idea of giving you contextually targeted advertisements.  However, there is no guarantee about what exactly is done with your information.

If you have Qutrit Deskbar, you should remove it immediately with SpyZooka.
