Yea, actually, I think it's sad when software developers release their products with an 'I agree to terms-of-use and wish to install XXXXX browser bar'.

I don't use any browser bars, never have and never will, thanks for appreciating that fact you turds!

But as for the GDnet folk, I lub u guys :)

Who's with me on this ?

yeah it's retarded shit. They are just useless shit that have no use in a web browser.

Many browser bars are malware and those that are not make it easy for malware to find a vector into your computer. To this day, I do not know why this is allowed or why the big names in the industry both create them and tack them on to installers.

I still have Yahoo toolbar floating around my system because an installer went ahead and installed it even after I requested that it not (clearly, I must have made a mistake, right?) and the toolbar's uninstaller doesn't seem to work.

What's really lovely is getting to use some nut-tard's computer where half of it's browser display is composed of browser bars. When that happens I usually react similar to

">this.

I don't think we want to be lubed. [headshake]

I've never installed any. I still find it odd how java asks if you want to install the yahoo one or something. So old school.

It's an old joke from a few years ago.

Also is this thread related to the new DirectX web install with that bing thing I've been hearing about?

This is how many browser bars I have.

I had one recently that re-ticked the install checkbox if you unchecked it... you had to uncheck it several times before it stopped. I can't remember what software it was now, but I was extremely disappointed.

And lets not forget the Gator Corp viruses that so many companies tried to get us to install.
