SITEADVISOR OUT:MY PC GOES BETTER!!
« on: September 15, 2009, 08:03:59 PM »
It's unbelevable. The program auto-updated itself to latest version and did not work anymore. So I finally decided to follow the general forum advice to uninstall it. PC is faster and surfing too. Wow!!! ;)

I think there is an option where you can turn the toolbar into an icon.Do a search for browser defender in firefoxs about:config and there should be an entry about netbook.Set that to true and no more toolbar.

OK, found browser.bdtoolbar.forcenetbook and have set that to true, I guess I have to restart firefox to get that to apply as it doesn't by default.

It worked after some fiddling I had to apply it twice it didn't stick first time so two restarts also.

I find it does slow my browsing (dial-up) so it may not be long for this life on my system.

I have also found another fault with it (not strange in a beta) if a google search extends to more than one page (almost always) subsequent pages just don't get checked.

I have also just had my first crash on firefox 3.5.3, which might just be co-incidental or just the norm for a beta.

My major concern is the speed or rather lack of it, is slows browsing massively on dial-up for new sites visited; so it is highly likely to find itself in the bit bucket in the not to distant future.
