Information of Community Toolbar by Conduit

Usually, Mac PC is not so easy to be infected with viruses. On the one hand, Mac PCs or laptops have much less core audience than Microsoft OS PCs. Hackers would rather not create a virus version for Mac PC specially. On the other hand, Mac PC relatively has safer security system. However,  Community Toolbar by Conduit is just one browser hijack virus that can easily infect Mac PCs and bring users much pain. It’s developed by “Conduit” and may be customized by other developers for specific purposes and called custom names, one example of which is the “Elf Toolbar.” A number of people have installed this plug-in but then have run into roadblocks when trying to uninstall it, and have contacted us for how to remove or disable it. It seems it’s not so easy for an ordinary person to uninstall it from their safari browser.

In usual, normal redirect virus will install standard plug-in to hijack users browser, but in Mac PC, Community Toolbar by Conduit will use the system loader “launchd” to load the plugin on-demand whenever Safari is opened. If you want to remove the toolbar completely, you have to remove many related components that are installed. Just like normal browser hijack virus infection, once your computer is infected such virus, every time when you run safari and try to open some web sites, you will be redirected to some odd web pages that you don’t want. And the browser performance will be worse and worse. It may also bring in much more other viruses such as Trojan, malware or ransom-ware. Unlike Windows system infection, it’s not so easy as to install the toolbar from control panel.

And what’s more, it seems anti-virus is useless for this browser hijack virus. Community Toolbar by Conduit can escape from scanning. No matter how hard you try, it just stays in your PC. It’s very disgusting. It not only can make your browser run more and more slowly, gradually, it even can crash your computer system. So the sooner remove the virus the better. Please don’t wait until your computer is completely broken.
