Which toolbar do you have, do they help or do they only cause problmes. I got google because of popups, but find it bothers me when it's time to open windows and dl files.

Tool bars as a rule are dangerous,there is a lot of them that say they are a help but they have spyware implanted in them.Google or Yahoo toolbars wont have that problem but its up to you whether they help or hinder.Keep in mind most promise to help but they are spyware.

I use Firefox, which has a built in popup blocker... so no need for the google toolbar. I'd highly recommend that you look into Firefox. It has built in search for google, ebay, amazon, dictionary.com, yahoo, and creative commons. Plus, you can add other search engines. And the find feature is awesome

And the program that you suggested costs $$. I'd recommend: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ for free.
Is this spam?

Spam? No... just my point of view. Yes I paid for it, but you get what you pay for right? So how good is something that is free? | |
