Does google toolbar for IE include adware? After I downloaded it I started getting a bombardment of popup from "WhenU" aka save now.
I haven't downloaded anything else for about a week. Is it from toolbar or is it just a delayed reaction from some other software?
Thanks, Jo

OntheEdge,

I am almost 100% positive that this is not the toolbar. I have also seen an increase in the amount of spyware which waits several days before they begin working.

OK, thanks, not that it matters...lol...I'm gonna stick with opera. I only used IE to check page ranks, but now I've been told it guesses on some unranked sites. So now I have no need for IE at all!

I don't think any Google anything uses adware.
