Yahoo! Toolbar

by jlippincott Jun 28, 2006 6:56AM PDT

Is the anti-spyware feature of the Yahoo Toolbar worth having? Also, I already have the Google toolbar installed. Would there be a problem installing the Yahoo Toolbar as well?

I use Firefox and Seamonkey. Ewido cleans up stuff weekly.

I do not like Yahoo software , despite they are often 5 stars-rated .
They are usually bundled with adware , thus are not reliable concerning security .
Google Toolbar is very useful & i think that it is sufficient .
Install a good Firewall & Antivirus real-time protection & forget Yahoo programs .
