Why do so many software companies nail Yahoo or Google toolbars onto
thier programs or worse updates and 'small print' it so you don't see
it until it's too late.
I don't want yer F...... toolbars NOW F... OFF !!!
Ahhh I feel better now ............. ;-)
I think that Adobe Acrobat Reader insists on installation of the Yahoo
toolbar. No toolbar, no PDF's. I think there is some reciprocity there
(search bar in Acrobat), but the toolbars pre-requisite only affects
Windows
users. I had a discussion about it some months ago. The user is rarely in
control these days, especially with spyware floating about everywhere.
When it gets as bad as this;

then it's time for action.
Oh, Gosh. I have 5 enabled at the moment (Firefox) and I thought /that/
was
excessive.
