IE7 Toolbar Mayhem
nikostheater writes "A user called anyweb tried to infect IE7 with as many toolbars as possible and it's interesting to see what happens and how secure IE7 is.." This is funny if only for the screenshot of a browser window with like 80% of the screen covered with toolbars.
The screenshot reminds me of my mother or my sisters computer every time I go over there. They're always ending up with crap like "mycoolsearch", I did an adaware search and got something like 600 items the first time I tried it. I got fed up, and installed firefox and made IE less obvious on the computers.
I go back two weeks later, and now firefox has a mycoolsearch toolbar! Arrg.
Yes, but that still isn't allowed to be stated in a slashdot summary... I mean think of the group think, won't someone PLEASE think of the groupthink!

The problem is that MS actually makes one of these as well. I believe MSN offers a particularly annoying toolbar for IE.

No. Like 25% other slashdotters are also irritated.
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Holy crap! I never thought I'd see the day when nearly all of the posts in a thread about a Microsoft product would be *defensive*! Time to clean out the fallout shelter!
