Hi, Sandra, I think we need to extend your "beware" to some other software nowadays. If you update your JAVA version, they often try to sneak in that darned ASK toolbar. I think it would be well to say that if you are going to update or install ANYTHING these days, it behooves you to look at that screen just before you click the INSTALL button to see if they are trying to foist some other damnable toolbar or search engine on you. I believe that MONEY is the root cause of much of that chickanery; the "main provider" partners with one of these other companies so that they receive ad money if the user installs the piece they want to push. In my experience, the function has never been an "opt in" function by which you check the box if you want it. You have to look carefully and UNCHECK the box to tell them that you don't want it. So I will add a bit of emphasis to Sandra's warning: BEWARE!!!
