Why does the latest toolbar update not include the free anti-spyware that was on the old one?

I received an update notice and downloaded the latest version of yahoo toolbar. But now, instead of the free yahoo anti-spyware that was there before, there is an offer for a 30-day free trial with Norton anti-spy, etc. Where is the old, perpetually free version? Can I get it back?

Yahoo.com inc. has more than likely discontinued the anti-spyware option in the yahoo toolbar as such I recomend a free program called spybot search and destroy that will locate and remove 41,952 known spyware bots that install spyware to your system. the url is http://www.safernetworking.org have fun removing spyware from your system. Fair warning the program has a slight graphics problem.

Yeah, I hate Norton too. I don’t know if you can get the old one back, maybe you should contact Yahoo technical help.

I highly recommend you download SUPERantispyware. It will remove any and all spyware. It is VERY VERY effective and it is free.

Microsoft offers Defender for free. It is a great anti-spy.

hi, i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. which is more powerful and easy to use.

firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
