TBVerifier.dll Error on Startup

Posted: December 30, 2013

The 'TBVerifier.dll Error on Startup' message is a pop-up alert commonly related to broken installations or uninstallations of Conduit toolbar products. Conduit toolbars are considered browser hijackers and Potentially Unwanted Programs, due to their shared behavior of redirecting the user's online searches to the Conduit.com search engine. If you see a 'TBVerifier.dll Error on Startup' Message, either due to a bad install of a toolbar or failing to remove a Conduit toolbar on your own, malware researchers would recommend the simple resolution of using anti-malware products to delete the rest of the Conduit toolbars components, including its Registry entries and DLL files, like TBVerifier.dll.

The Startup Problem You Might Be Glad to Have

The 'TBVerifier.dll Error on Startup' Message is almost invariably associated with Conduit-affiliated or Conduit-developed browser add-ons. Because these toolbars occur in a wide variety of formats and brand names, many of which claim to have completely different features, identifying a Conduit toolbar tends to happen when the PC user sees their Web browser being search hijacked and forced to use the results of Conduit.com. Despite Conduit.com's frequently being associated with adware, malware experts haven't seen any clear indications of toxic content that would make it viable to categorize it as a threatening website.

The 'TBVerifier.dll Error on Startup' Message is one of the errors that may appear when a Conduit toolbar is installed improperly or only is partially deleted, the latter of which is a common occurrence for PC users who try to uninstall it themselves. The good news is that seeing a 'TBVerifier.dll Error on Startup' Message usually indicates that your browser no longer will be hijacked. On the other hand, a 'TBVerifier.dll Error on Startup' Message also is a sign that some components of the toolbar haven't been removed, and malware researchers would encourage the complete removal of all of a program, browser hijacker or otherwise, during its deletion.

Verifying that Your Computer is Conduit-Free

Allowing remnants of Potentially Unwanted Programs to stay on your PC may cause a range of minor security and performance issues that malware researchers see no reason not to avoid. Due to the scenarios in which the 'TBVerifier.dll Error on Startup' Message commonly occurs, removing a 'TBVerifier.dll Error on Startup' Message may require that you delete toolbar components that aren't necessarily removable by the Control Panel or your browser's add-on management tools. However, any anti-malware program and many anti-adware programs worth their salt should be able to detect and remove the 'TBVerifier.dll Error on Startup' Message, since 'TBVerifier.dll Error on Startup' Message is from a well-identified PUP family.

Potentially Unwanted Programs and search hijackers that cause 'TBVerifier.dll Error on Startup' Messages to appear may go by many names, and usually are installed through free software bundles. Examples of some of the brands that malware experts would suggest looking out for include the IMBooster4web-en Toolbar, the Softtunes Search and Toolbar, the OMG Music Toolbar, the Freemium Toolbar and Search, the SuperFast PC Toolbar, and the Nana10 Toolbar.
