For a while I toyed with the funwebproducts and the smiley central but found slowness and locked PC so I removed all the the funwebproducts and now my tool bar only has mywebsearch which like I said do not use. To be totally honest today was the first time I thought of removing this tool bar...for no apparent reason. After all it is not like I am infested with bugs caused by this feature. The two malware/greyware that I found are easily removed, now that I know the source, and applications to remove. So I think that I will just leave things as they are, and not stir a hornet`s nest in doing something I have no idea how it will work...Don`t you think it is better to leave it alone, as long as I can control these bugs? Thank you Steve, it is always educational hearing you explain these things. Congrats.
