Remove Search.com Toolbar v6.6 by CBS Interacti...

The Search.com Toolbar Toolbar by CBS Interactive is an advertising supported toolbar for Intenet Explorer and Firefox (a web browser extension) that is typically installed via a software bundler. The toolbar is the Spigot Widgi Toolbar and collects and stores information about your web browsing habits and sends this information to Search.com so they can suggest services or provide advertising via the toolbar. Search Toolbar will attempt to change your home page and search provider to Search.com if you are not careful during installation and provides a search box and various other generic features in the toolbar.

Search.com is a metasearch engine: your search query is sent to several search engines at one time and the results are integrated into one list. That means you don't have to spend time going to each individual site to search - you can get all the Web's top results at once from Search.com.
