Are Toolbars a mess to be bundled with other software ?
I am running this thread as I am sick and tired of toolbars trying to get installed on my PC every time I try to install some other software which is required for a specific purpose.
Toolbars typically report your browsing habits to well connected Server Farms and based on this typically when you browse a site, they popup ads based on your surfing habits
Do you Digitians feel this is right ?

Should have been a multiple choice poll.. with an all of the above choice too..
I do not use specific toolbars and try to avoid them. I hate them all - yahoo, google, ask, msn, megaupload and all other toolbars

Re: Are Toolbars a mess to be bundled with other software ?
Why do u ppl bother with toolbars. Use Opera! Since it doesn't have an api , there are no external toolbars.

Re: Are Toolbars a mess to be bundled with other software ?
the software developers need to fill their belly's too.  ,so just uninstall them or uncheck them at installation.(they are generally included in freewares afaik,with a notable exception of nero which sucks anyway).
