YA search

Is your home page changed to search.conduit.com and you have no idea what happened? Is there an unfamiliar toolbar installed on your browser? If so, you probably have YA Search toolbar installed. This Internet browsing optimization tool is available at yasearch.ourtoolbar.com. Users can install this browser plugin in order to have instant access to popular websites. YA Search installs a toolbar with a customized search bar on your browser. The toolbar also sports icons to popular social networking and other websites. This toolbar is compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome and once installed, it automatically adds itself to your default browser.

During the installation you can choose whether you want to have a customized YA Search website set as your home page. It shows that this browser extension does not slither into your computer without having prompted you. However, it might be the case that YA Search is downloaded not from the official website, but it is bundled with other freeware programs, and user installs it automatically along with other software. It has happened before with other toolbars developed by Conduit Ltd, including Appbario toolbar, Iminent Community Toolbar, MIXI.DJ Toolbar and so on.

If you have not downloaded YA Search toolbar yourself, and you find the fact that your home page is changed to search.conduit.com annoying, you are advised to remove YA Search from your computer.
