CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Although it offers a few useful features, Pengs Toolbar doesn't really stand out in a crowded field. This Internet Explorer add-on's main purpose is clearly the promotion of the Pengs.com search engine. Besides a search box that defaults to Pengs.com, the toolbar is littered with icons for categories such as entertainment, computing, and health--all of which contain content from the developer. Happily, the toolbar also lets you search more reliable engines, including Google and MSN. The pop-up blocker may be this toolbar's best addition, though it couldn't stop some complex ads. However, we did appreciate the ability to allow pop-ups via a quick keystroke and the inclusion of a white list. The ability to check several POP-3 e-mail accounts from directly within the program rounds out this add-on's feature set. Since it is free, it won't hurt to put Pengs Toolbar on your computer, but we don't think it will change your life.Publisher's description

Version: Pengs Toolbar 1.2
Summary: I like the pengs toolbar, even better than the google or yahoo toolbars. The best thing I like is the Pop-up blocker actually works, some of the other toolbars still let pop-ups through. I can even put site in what they call a Whitelist, so that i... read more >>

Version: Pengs Toolbar 1.2
Summary: I like the toolbar, helps make searching easier. The best thing is that I put my pop3 info in the settings and it notifies me when I get mail. Saves computer resources, because I don't have to keep outlook open.
