The search engine toolbars are some of the worst offenders. Do not EVER download the Google or Dogpile toolbars. You will regret it forever.

I've been using the Google tool bar since it first came out but I also use Spybot running in the background and Adaware about once a week I have yet to have a problem with Google I even ran the Yahoo toolbar for awhile but uninstalled it mostly because it was unnecessary.IMO instant messengers are a bigger threat, they're like a magnet for spyware and viruses.P2P networking is another one.As an added bonus once I removed these programs the kids only use the computer for homework like they're supposed to.

Oh, that is so much trash talk, Those are two of the best and most useful browser helper objects out there. Sorry you had a bad experience, but you are blaming the wrong programs for any problems you have.
