HuntBar is an Internet Explorer toolbar that can provide you with a search engine. Also it can be called as Browser Hijack Object (BHO), because it hijacks your Internet Explorer search page. Once HuntBar gets inside your system it starts monitoring your browsing habits and sends this information to their controlling servers. This may have an effect on your Internet connection speed.

HuntBar Symptoms
