opinion requested on toolbars

[Kerry Brown]

It would be a nice option if you could get a list of installed toolbars and
pick which ones to uninstall. A blanket uninstall may cause more frustration
than it's worth for unsophisticated users. They may use the option to remove
an unwanted toolbar then wonder where their google bar went.

Thanks for your input. I am already working on the let the user pick after
the scan is completed. and since I'm redoing some aspects of the code, I
wanted to get a general opinion on toolbars.

My opinion is I haven't seen one I'd install on any of my computers.

Thanks for your opinion. I am keeping track of the comments people post in
