    Google new toolbar = SPYWARE

    I'm sure you saw this already, but when google new toolbar links ISBN to Amazon, used cars palate numbers to used car agencies, there's no other word then spyware.
    Why is it legal for google but when someone else is doing it it is considered to be spyware?

        I think they do this because of all the fraud clicks they got on their Ad Sense program.
        I don't blame them

          It's lame they are doing that, as it will kill a good thing if it's true.. I won't upgrade for sure if that's what they are doing.

          The way they get away wih it is you agree to install it on your computer knowning it's adsupported software or that they use your info to gather info on search resualts. Same way some of the other scumbags around here get away with their spyware.
