Who's recommendation is this? Some of them are useful & trustworthy. I recognize that some aren't.Originally Posted by mattstermind

The Chances Are It Will Be More Trouble Than It Saves YouI agree. Who is making this recommendation? It really does little good to come to a forum and make a blanket statement without any justification.
That facts are, from my viewpoint, is that some toolbars are very helpful and beneficial and the Yahoo Toolbar is one of them.
However, I will add that I recommend the use of only one of the same type of toolbar - for example, use the Google Toolbar or the Yahoo Toolbar, but not both. And I will add that it is best to always choose the "Custom" Install options when installing any program so that you have the option to opt-out of installing any toolbars not wanted. And for those those toolbars that are installed, I recommend following the installation process carefully to ensure only those options desired are installed as well. For example, you probably do not need the toolbar's auto-updater running full time.
I will also add that toolbars and add-ins (BHOs) are also the one of the most common causes of conflicts and browser issues.
Finally, this is not Hardware issue - so I have moved the thread.

mattstermind are you merely claiming that all toolbars are evil & bad or do you have some credible source to cite and share with us. Don't get me wrong if you do then we would be happy to review it & give you feedback. If you are merely claiming such, then what are you basing your claim on? What experience do you have to make such a statement? You have to be careful here in the advice that you give other users. Do your homework.
