Also, worth mentioning that Yandex Bar is part of a browser plug-in, which hijacks your browser settings. A cloned version may look precisely the same, but collect sensitive data and sell it to cybercriminals. There is no doubt that Yandex tends to employ “bundling” methods (a technique of promoting software with other programs) to advertise their products, but how about the clones? Whilst such Yandex products may be legitimate despite the distribution methods, there can be software that copies the appearance of legal services to run suspicious activity. The presence of Yandex Bar is less likely to cause any significant damage to your data, however, it also remains a question. Although Yandex is a company providing a legitimate experience for its users, it can be installed against your will. For example, your homepage, searched queries, and ads will go through the official Yandex domains. Usually, the most visible change spotted after its installation is the connection to all Yandex services.

Yandex Bar is classified as a browser hijacker causing a number of browser changes in Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox.
