Editor's review of Yahoo Toolbar with Anti Spyware

As the search engine wars heat up, Yahoo has upped the ante by adding powerful spyware protection to its popular Internet Explorer toolbar. Similar to other search engine toolbars, Yahoo Toolbar blends pop-up blocking and e-mail functionality with its search capabilities to enhance your browsing experience.

The latest version no longer requires you to sign into your Yahoo account to change the look of the toolbar. The interface is completely customizable and fits seamlessly into your IE browser. You can add or remove buttons for various Yahoo services, such as news and weather, but you have to refresh the toolbar to see the changes. The pop-up blocker stops most ads and doesn't hinder normal surfing.

The new Yahoo Anti-Spy spyware scanner is an excellent addition. Our test showed it to be just as thorough as stand-alone scanners. It quickly scans your system and provides detailed information about any spyware or adware found. You can then easily remove what you want. With this new protection, Yahoo has definitely become the toolbar to beat.

  Yahoo Toolbar with Anti Spyware

  Great toolbar, but.....

  by: The Sports Fan on 25-Dec-2007 07:01:00 AM

  Pros: The newest version installed via update is the tool bar I use by choice. One program installs on both "IE" and "Firefox". It's highly customizable. I love the football buttons.

  Cons: Heres the but. It's anti spy, though free, is the only thing I have reservations about. Can anyone explain, how a spyware scan complete in 22 seconds on a 41 GB used hard drive? Darned if I can figure it out!

  Cannot live without it

  by: Mark61676 on 17-Jan-2008 05:37:49 PM

  Pros: I use Yahoo Toolbar as a quick reference to go to the most important sites to me. I also store my bookmarks there so I can go to them at a touch and scroll. If I did not have it online; I would be lost without it!
