seems to be offering toolbars or plug-ins for installation into your
browser. Most plug-ins and toolbars are harmless, but these tools
could be exploited by hackers to steal information or take control of
your system, especially if they are not kept up-to-date. And they
take up space on your window. You have to be selective of the
type of toolbars and other plug-ins you decide to install. Most

is to install their toolbar. So you have to be careful to uncheck
the box that installs the toolbar.Find out more about our
