Aethec Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 The less toolbars the better... Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted November 11, 2010 Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2010 Kaput! No more unticking the box for it, but setups will just use something else for people to pay close attention to when clicking, so really nothing changes at all.

Ishi Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I dislike the toolbars. Inexperienced users often install (often on freeware apps) without unticking the option to install a toolbar and their browsers get cluttered up. But Google Chrome is now the optional extra package that comes with the standard CCleaner build. I love computer maintenance tasks. Some of my favorite programs: Wordpad -basic word processing Notepad - temporary clipboard and basic scripting module Windows Media Player 12- video, music and online radio player Windows Media Center - live TV, local FM radio CCleaner- handy computer maintenance tool If something fails to work after using the registry cleaner, use SYSTEM RESTORE.

Moderators Andavari Posted November 11, 2010 Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2010 But Google Chrome is now the optional extra package that comes with the standard CCleaner build. Chrome I could live with as a suggestion, toolbars are another thing altogether though. I'd think by now that any Chrome offers would also have a thank you page if the user already has Chrome installed rather than having to tick about boxes, I guess things aren't that advanced yet.

pwillener Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I dislike the toolbars. So do most users. But the Ask toolbar is an especially vicious one, considered by many as spyware. Some vendors (like Foxit) bundle the toolbar in a way that you need a double opt-out to prevent it from getting installed, and in some versions even that double opt-out did not prevent it from getting installed. (It also did not provide an uninstaller!) I really hope that this particular pest will disappear from the face of the earth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
