1242117 2011-11-05 21:19:00 I get about one tool bar a week, that either installs itself or wants to.

I just which they would all go away.

No one wants them.

Perhaps Firefox should add an option to block all tool bars and ask you when you start the browser if if you want to install this tool bar ?

Just noticed I have Bing mine, time to nuke it ;)

1242122 2011-11-06 07:48:00 Can't say I've ever seen a toolbar install itself, it's usually bundled with something and installs if you use the standard install rather than custom. pctek (84)
1242123 2011-11-07 03:21:00 Yep, have a look in add/remove programs. It may be installed in Win.
Even some new PC's have it pre-installed , grrrrrr
