Spigot is categorized as an adware application and a potentially unwanted program. By offering some handy new tab features, it successfully tricks users about its worthy usage.
However, such rogue programs cannot be trusted as adware bring a lot of unpleasant modifications and activities straight to the infected web browser and overloads the user's computer with suspicious content (registries, files, etc.).
Adware programs are mostly known for their advertising activities that allow gaining income from the pay-per-click technique. Furthermore, these PUPs initiate redirects that might take you to potentially infectious pages.
If ever dealing with Spigot toolbar, you should get rid of it from your web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Explorer, Edge, or Safari. You can find manual and automatical removal guidelines here.
