I also use the Google Toolbar and have had no issues with it. After it was
written that "you will gain a nasty piece of business called HUNTBAR" I
began investigating it. I found files that HUNTBAR adds and the changes it
makes to the Register. I searched my XP system and found no references to
it. Showing that it is clean on my system, I will continue to keep it.

Me, too! I've installed on several systems with no problems; always
installed from the google site.

Never seen it! Unless it's purporting to be "google" from some non-google
site, I see no connection, or confusion, between the two.

Excellent resource! Although I've recently heard of another hijacker,
smarter.com, which isn't mentioned here. Is it new?
