Hotbar

[Bonnie Smit]

I have recently found a site "SpyFerret Hotbar
Uninstaller". They said that Hotbar spies on you and
sends information about your on line business to others.
Could you pleas tell me if this is true and if so should
I uninstall Hotbar. If you agree that Hotbar is a threat
how should I go about getting rid of it? Is SpyFerret a
good site to use?

Oh my. Dear lord. Yes, yes it is spyware.

As to whether or not you "should" uninstall it, thats up to you - you might
feel the benefits outweigh the bad side.

As most people upon reflection decide that actually they don't need it
*that* badly, I'm including a few links to things that can remove hotbar
along with other nasties. I've never heard of Spy Ferret so I can't comment
either way.
