Microsoft stealthily installs a Firefox add-on that cannot easily be uninstalled

DavidR:
It would be an issue and MS would be screaming blue murder if Mozilla added something to IE.
YoKenny:
I guess I don't have to worry as I don't use Firefox.

Here we go.

Micro$oft at it again. They really are cunning stunts.

Can anyone tell me how to check if this piece of shit is installed on my machine?

Would be very grateful!

Thanks in advance!

Hi Polonus

to include Adobe in topic thread as well.

When download Adobe free products (Reader, Flash Player, Shockwave, etc...) you have to read every page carefully to make sure you are not picking up extra addons, mainly Google toolbar.

Flash Player download will already have the checkbox ticked for addon Google toolbar (from my local connect to web anyway - there may be a difference depending on where you connect from, Google seem to be very forward with their localisation functionality(s).

Wise advice from Mkis.

I really dislike stuff like that.
