Google Toolbar Genie!

A blue genie popped out of my Google toolbar

While browsing Google today, a blue colored genie popped-up from my Google toolbar - this is the first time I noticed it.

Anyone has any idea what is this, is this a Trojan OR some new interactive search service from Google? I haven’t heard about it anywhere.

thank,
Shabir

Will you please leave my cigarettes alone!

What were your 3 wishes?

Back on topic - It sounds like the MS Office help thing that most people disable as soon as they figure out how to do so.

[Leosghost]

best way is to remove "office" and go opensource

I immediately made a wish to get all my sites top ranked...haha :-)

Sounds like MS Agent... You can write web pages which pop up MS Agent and have it speak pre-programmed text as well.

That happens to me all of the time. ;-)

Yahoo is testing a new BETA of the toolbar with an Anti-Spyware component. [beta.toolbar.yahoo.com...] Try scanning for 'blue genies', adware and spyware. ;) It's working well for me.

I wonder if Google & MSN will follow with an anti-spyware feature in their toolbar. Obviously it would not remove any tracks of searches from their own toolbars ;)

...watching close for the pink nymph to pop outta my google bar...

[embuilder71]

They seem to copy each other... so I would expect Google or MSN to follow. Funny Yahoo is leading with this Anti-spyware functionality now - unexpected but good to see.

Erase search tracks? What do you mean?
