CoolSoft Toolbar is a web browser toolbar and extension that modifies the browsers search and home pages as well as delivers contextual based advertising. This toolbar currently supports Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome. In order to provide search advertising revenue, the software is designed not only to modify the search provider but to protect it so that it remains the default browser search engine. It is typically installed via a co-bundled offer within a third-party software distribution.

- Change of the default search engine, including your Browser's built-in search box, and address bar;

- Addition of alternative error page functionality, such as “Page Not Found”;

- Change of the default Home Page and/or New Tabs, and protect your search settings;

- Allowing Conduit access to location-based information

- Allowing Conduit access to information contained on your social network account
