		<description>Unfortunately, the few &#039;honest&#039; toolbars have indeed taken the wrath of users as a result of the spyware, parasite, adware and other creepy applications of an otherwise good technology.

What&#039;s interesting is that, as far as my own toolbar system goes, I&#039;ve had offers from clients all over the world to develop different kinds of toolbars -- and without fail -- it is the US-based companies that seem most willing to cross the line and request applications that I simply refuse to develop.

We&#039;re talking about features like:

- Forced Install
- Hidden Install
- Report all URLs back
- Report all searches back
- Forcibly and hidden set home page
- Forcibly and hidden set default search engine
- Forcibly generate un-blockable pop-ups
- Install and run hidden executables
- Bypass all security and anti-virus tools
- The list goes on...

What&#039;s sad is that I&#039;m able to generate the most powerful and incredibly useful toolbars imaginable. Ones that can save countless hours of time and effort. Ones that can be customized on a per-user basis to make the Internet and use of ones&#039;s own computer a pleasure.

However, there will always be people around who&#039;s sole motivation is the almighty dollar -- and who will do ANYTHING to get it.

These people don&#039;t care about you, your wants, your needs, your security or safety -- as long as they can line their pockets with your money, or by taking advantage of actions you perform (even one lousy click!).

They&#039;ll infect your machine, using whatever means necessary, and they won&#039;t stop -- EVER.
