SETI @ home toolbar

Post by **UBT - Timbo** » Wed Nov 08, 2006 7:10 pm

Hi all,

Just found the above:

It's about 750kb and works with IE and Firefox.

Might be quite useful, for the SETI die-hards.

What does the SETI@HOME toolbar let me do?
- Includes a cookie cleaner, a history cleaner, and a cache cleaner
- Get notified when you receive new e-mails to your POP3, Yahoo!, Gmail, or Hotmail accounts
- Instant access to SETI@HOME site.
- Search with more than 20 Search engines.
- Get instant access to SETI Project useful links.
- Listen to online University of California radio station from the toolbar.
- Chat with other users who have the SETI toolbar installed
- You can add your favorite radio station and search for more

Install if you feel happy about it's claims!

regards

Tim

This was removed from the forum, about a week ago, the toolbar includes spyware to track what sites people are visiting.

The person trying to push this on to others posted it here twice. The people who provide the backbone even say it monitors what people get up to and also for each install this person gets money.

I'm going no where near

Hi David,

Sorry - didn't realise this had been covered before

.

They do say:

It's free, with no spyware or viruses, does not open pop-ups or hijack your searches, and no personal information is required.

So, either it has an issue with spyware or not - I believe YOU more than I would believe THEIR website...

Was also concerned at the typos in the toolbar.....! I counted 3 at least.

regards

Tim

The file has been submitted for analysis but results are not back as yet, it just seems to be a spam service from the way the messages were also posted in this forum.

Time will tell it may be legit but for now I prefer to not trust it :lol:
