Snap.Do
What is Snap.Do?
Snap.Do is a web browser addin/toolbar (depending on the browser it is installed within) that plugs into all the major web browsers including Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox. Snap.Do provides the standard generic toolbar features such as social integration for Facebook and Twitter as well as others. It also leverages the SimularSites engine to provide "recommendations". On installation it will modify the browser's home page and search providers (which will not be reset on removal) in order to perform redirects to the developers search portal. In addition it collects various data about the user's web browsing habits. Within Internet Explorer the Snap.do Smartbar is injected as both a toolbar as well as a BHO (browser helper object). Smartbar is available for manual download at the website snap.do but has also been seen being bundled with various 3rd party installers.
The software is typically bundled with third party installers such as Open Candy. "Offer your users the free Snap.do browser toolbar which provides search, quick access to social networking sites, streaming radio, screen capture app, and a PDF creation tool. Note: Sets homepage, search default and new tabs to Snap.do search."
