Re: SBC Yahoo Online Protection
I have just "added" this package to my son's PC....you can choose which features you want loaded, I chose not to include the anti-virus ( I use McAfee)...what I really needed was better parental controls. This has turned out to be a good direction for me. Sure, it loads SBC/Yahoo's own browser...looks and works just fine.
As for my parental controls...easy to setup and works very well indeed.

Well I glad you're happy with it.
I don't want the SBC Yahoo! Browser or any SBC Yahoo!/Yahoo! software on my system. Nor do I use Internet Explorer.
Been there, done that before knowing better. Installing ISP's software to "enhance" your internet and browsing experience. Except when you need/want to switch to a different ISP and try to uninstall/remove the software and changes made to your system. |

As crappy as the SBC-Yahoo software bundle is, I've got to say that at least it uninstalls cleanly. Still, I don't recommend that anyone install it in the first place.  |
