HotBar

[IFRs]

I downloaded HotBar

http://www.hotbar.com

and really liked what it could do. Then I found it put a advertisement on the bottom of all emails, and it was considered a bad security risk

http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/HotBar.html.

My questions are: (1) can the advertisement be disabled? and (2) I uninstalled HotBar in disgust, is there a more frieldnly program with the same functionality out there?

Thanks !!

I did disable the Advertisement....but have forgotten how.....

Will research and respond again.....but I do remember that I had to download the emoticons,....backgrounds etc before I disabled it....then set up the backgrounds I like in the stationary folder so that I could access them again.

Viewing the source will give you some ideas I am sure

FYI, Hotbar is SPYWARE.

Download a program called ad-aware it searches out spyware and gives you the opportunity to delete them. The image behind the buttons is actually a feature in internet explorer. Hotbar simply makes it slightly easier to change images. Go to regedit.com and look it up. It's simply a registry value that points to an image.

i was wondering if there are any programs currently that are hotbar-like in that they prvide browser skins without having to check the internet options box "enables third party..." i had to disable that function for ebay to work properly, but i would still like to have a browser skin. not having the box checked apparently doesn't allow the hotbar skin to show up. thanks
