Dear Yahoo

Why Your ToolBar Is Spyware

dear yahoo -

I installed your toolbar, and then decided to uninstall it using your uninstall feature. No worries - this is the expected behavior of a product from a major US corporation.

This morning I was checking to see if a new domain had propagated yet, and low and behold, instead of my "beloved" MS DNS error - I got a Yahoo search page.

Is this the expected of a major US corporation.

When I install a product, I expect *all* modified components to be returned to their original state.

I *should not* have to edit my registry to undo changes performed by your software.

By the way your main competitor's toolbar [toolbar.google.com] does not do this.

Why does yours?
