The Ultimate Cloud Toolbar is promoted on Ultimatecloud.org as an innovative search helper that can deliver search results in the form of word clouds. The Ultimate Cloud Toolbar is supposed to allow easier preview of results from Google, Bing and Yahoo. However, the Ultimate Cloud Toolbar is an adware that is a modified version of the Trovi browser hijacker. Moreover, the Ultimate Cloud adware may travel in a free software package in the company of adware like BrowseFox and Alpha Shopper. The 54.231.237.74 IP address of Ultimate Cloud's home page is linked to several untrusted domains and installing it may result in slow computer performance and browser crashes. The Ultimate Cloud adware-powered toolbar may change your default search provider to Trovi.com and block your access to other search engines like Bing, Yandex, Google and Yahoo.

The Ultimate Cloud adware may want to access your cloud storage accounts and recommend you to install third-party applications like Bizrate and BrowseSmart that have a bad reputation. The Ultimate Cloud adware is operated by ClientConnect Ltd. and may install tracking cookies on your computer that advertisers may use to observe your purchases on online stores like Amazon and Best Buy and build better marketing strategies. The Ultimate Cloud adware may read the Meta tags of your bookmarked sites and use JavaScript to inject additional ads from sponsors. The ads by Ultimate Cloud might appear as banners, inline ads and pop-up windows. Also, the Ultimate Cloud adware may change the design of your new tab page to place links to affiliate websites and generate marketing revenue for its developers. The Ultimate Cloud adware may have installed its file in the hidden AppData folder and users may not be able to remove it manually.
