Editor's review of Yahoo Toolbar
stars
- "Yahoo Toolbar"
- Version reviewed: Yahoo Toolbar 7.0.5
It seems as if every search engine offers an Internet Explorer toolbar that mixes pop-up blocking and e-mail functionality with its search capabilities.
Yahoo Companion Toolbar differs a bit from other add-ons since some of its features are designed to work with your registered Yahoo account. The interface is a standard toolbar. You can add or remove buttons that launch various Yahoo services, though you have to click the Refresh Toolbar option to see the changes.
In our tests, the pop-up blocker eliminated most, but not all, ads. It didn't hinder normal surfing, and the toolbar uninstalled without any problems. Yahoo users may appreciate the quick access to services Yahoo Companion Toolbar provides.

Version: Yahoo Toolbar 7.0.5
"This toolbar is customizable."
Pros: I use both versions of "Yahoo Toolbar" (with and without anti-spy) and have had no problems with either. This one with "Internet Explorer" and the anti-spy version with "Firefox". I set it up with only the buttons I use, Sports, Mail, Weather, News, Maps, Notepad and "My Yahoo". It doesn't slow my browsers opening or paging at all and it doesn't add itself to your auto start menu like "Google" does. It gives me easy access to the things I use most. Unlike some others, I had no trouble installing or setting it up and, it's not identified as a potentially unwanted program by my security software like some other toolbars are.
Cons: I have no real cons to offer.

Version: Yahoo Toolbar 7.0.5
Pros: It has a fast search engine I searched nature scenery images, and it found my search in 0.15 second.
It has easy access to yahoo mail, music, news, weather, sports, entertainment, games and bookmarks are good for saving favorite web sites. And the toolbar is very easy to customize the buttons that I need.
The toolbar comes with the yahoo anti spy icon, so to get the anti spy to work. I clicked on yahoo anti spy and clicked run anti spy, then it says download the lastest version of anti spy. So I had to install an active x control to download the anti spy. After I got the anti spy to work it found a trojan called Othdo located in C:\windows\sysinf.dat .
Cons: When installing this toolbar I had to uncheck make yahoo.com my home page, so my home page wouldn't change.
