What is Security Toolbar?

Security Toolbar is a malicious browser helper object that installs itself into your web browser. After browser infection, Security Toolbar adds affiliate links to rogue anti-spyware sites that promote such parasites as ContraVirus, SpyCrush and other malicious software. Once you click on a Security Toolbar link, you get infected by a rogue anti-spyware parasite almost immediately. Then you get harassed by scare tactics and attempts to trick you into purchasing rogue anti-spyware. Stay away from Security Toolbar at all costs.

Security Toolbar is a Browser Helper Object (BHO), which is software that runs automatically every time you start your Internet browser.

The majority of Browser Helper objects are designed to increase your browser’s functionality. However, parasitic BHOs such as Security Toolbar may gather your private information and send it to a remote server for malicious advertising or marketing purposes.

That is not the only threat however, as malicious Browser Helper Objects like Security Toolbar may also decrease your system stability and performance. Moreover, Security Toolbar can also routinely conflict with other running programs, causing a variety of page faults, runtime errors, thus greatly slowing down your internet connection speed and stability.


How to tell if your PC has been infected by a Browser Helper Object such as Security Toolbar?

Slow internet connection: Browser Helper Objects are constantly using your internet connection to send your private information to remote servers, as well as receive ads and pop-ups from third party servers, which causes much slower internet connection speed and overall connection instability.
Slower System Performance: Most of Browser Helper Objects are not optimized and coded very poorly, which causes your system to become unstable, slow and unreliable, as such BHOs are constantly running in the background.
