Hi Lisandro,

Some do agree with you here in this discussion: https://www.mywot.com/en/forum/9900-ask-com-toolbar-is-adware

Bad ethics, riskware, junkware, adware, trackware and being sneaked in by some big players like Oracle.  8)

Experts warn Bash bug poses “catastrophic” threat to devices in the home

http://www.news.com.au/technology/experts-warn-bash-bug-poses-catastrophic-threat-to-devices-in-the-home/story-e6frfrnr-1227070183296
Is avast! vulnerable to this attack.
