    WTF is this ?

    I got this at home last night and installed it by accident and uninstalled it after i saw it was toolbar in IE and most likely spyware or something.

    Well I'm at work today and I get the same ****ing thing....has anyone else gotten this?

    I have not yet seen it.. a google search comes up with pretty much all hijack hits, so it sounds indeed like spyware.. nasty stuff

            That's the reason I'm using Firefox, had a bad experience with spyware/malware/adware and after I reinstalled XP to get rid of the infestation I went straight for Firefox, works great.

              Yeah I switched over to Firefox myself both at home and work. Just need to get rid of the IE button on my quick launch bar so Idont click it

              I was even suprised when Citrix worked with Firefox
