Not installing shit-ware at all is even better, that's how I do it - I'm trying to avoid shit-ware at all costs

Sometimes its unavoidable, like when your favorite program bundles pos software or when Yahoo Toolbar is automatically included with IE7.

Yahoo toolbar is a piece of crap btw.

The toolbar instalation is optional in most cases. At least I haven't encountered any program with forced toolbar installation yet. The last one I remember is Daemon tools where it was optional...

Agreed, yahoo TB can kiss my ass.
But I had the option of installing the yahoo toolbar or not when I installed IE7 - maybe because I make it a habit of choosing 'custom' installs ?? So I can pick a choose what and where things get installed.
I only seen yahoos TB because I was asked to remove it for someone else - otherwise - Ive always been able to avoid installing it... AOL's extra crap when installing their IM being the exception.

I did mine through microsoft update so I dunno. All I know is that when I used IE7 it was on there and I would have remembered if it gave me the option.

Ahh - ok - I have auto-updates disabled as well - Id rather get em myself - again, so I can pick a choose. When SP1 came out - it broke many firewalls - so I guess that stuck in my head.

If you don't like it, install Linux. Yahoo toolbar won't even work on that
