What is bomlabio?

Bomlabio is a web browser toolbar and extension that modifies the browsers search and home pages as well as delivers contextual based advertising.

It is typically installed via a co-bundled offer within a third-party software distribution.

What it does:
- Modifies the default search engine and search provider.
- Changes the default browser home page.
- Adds search functionality from the address bar.
- Adds alternative redirection "page not found".
- May display contextual advertising.
