What would Microsoft gain from forming a business relationship with a company that uses shady software practices, extorts, and fully utilizes software vulnerabilities which Microsoft is trying to fix. I don't think a company that has made security in its products a priority would try to tarnish that by forming any kind of relationship with a scumware vendor. Ever heard of a bank forming relationships with thieves? |

Actually this is most likely whats going to happen to MS.
Hotbar in front of a Judge: "Microsoft is using their Monopoly in Operating systems to promote their MSN toolbar, and using their antispyware application to uninstall us because we're the competition and their a big bad monopoly. WAAAAAAA!!!!"
It doesn't matter if Hotbar formats your harddrive or whatever it does. it's a search bar for IE made by a company, MS has the MSN Toolbar which is a competitor, and one of MS's products removes it saying it's malicious but allows the MSN one. Sounds like antitrust to me. and it will to the judge as well, The'll force MS to cough up money and remove the detect from MSAS. |

No...but then again, it isn't like Microsoft has a perfect history of playing fair, now is it? A crook can most certainly learn from another crook, my friend.  |

It pains me to see people frequently get this wrong...
(1) there: commonly used when describing a place or the presence of something
(2) their: commonly used to describe ownership of something
(3) they're: same as "they are" used to describe something directly
He should have used #3. |

You can easily choose not to install it, or if you already have it installed you can easily remove it.
Try doing that with "Hotbar"
