As the search engine wars heat up, Yahoo has upped the ante by adding powerful spyware protection to its popular Internet Explorer toolbar. The new Yahoo Anti-Spy spyware scanner is an excellent addition. 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.

- Norton Spyware Scan is designed to protect your computer from unwanted and hazardous spyware. By identifying and removing spyware, Norton Spyware Scan protects you from the negative affects, including slow Internet connections, pop-up advertisements, reduced computer performance, the loss of private information, and even identity theft.




- Norton Spyware Scan scans files and critical areas of your computer looking for any type of spyware. These in-depth scans look into your hard drives, running processes, Windows registry, and Internet cookies. Norton Spyware Scan provides options for removing known, potentially hazardous, and unidentified spyware security risks.

Wow. Yahoo AND Norton: My two worst nightmares together in one annoying toolbar. What's not to hate?

Junk.
All those toolbars are crap. You don't need any of them.

I think bundling anti-spyware software into a browser toolbar is kinda taking it out of context.

Its probably fast because its not using anything Norton. The software is based on Sunbelt's CounterSpy. You can tell by looking at the files after the install. You don't have to install the toolbar either. Unpack the toolbar install package and there will be a file called norton_spyware_scan.exe. Just run that installer.

Cheers
