| 273473 | 2004-09-18 06:46:00 | Can anyone give me advise on the Google toolbar vs. the Yahoo toolbar with the spyware protection. Or should I use both? |

Neither have spyware protection |

| 273476 | 2004-09-19 02:42:00 | I was reading a report on CNET in which they mention that the "new" spyware protection is particularly good??? | migdale (961) | ||
| 273477 | 2004-09-19 05:25:00 | in regards to the popup blocker in XP SP2, is it good enough to forego the toolbars altogether? | Mirddes (10) | ||
| 273478 | 2004-09-19 05:37:00 | In my experience the new IE popup blocker is a right pain. I don't use the google bar for popups either, only for searching, damn handy. If you are getting heaps of popups run spybot or lavasofts adaware, you may have some spyware installed If you really want a popup blocker, you are better off downloading a good free one. Or better still avoid the sites that give you the headaches I've just read through googles features & ther is no mention of spyware protection, so I don't know where you got that from. |
