Hi!
Yes, it isn't that we don't try. We just aren't allowed to know what is
happening as fully as we should. There are instances where addons are
beneficial to us. An example of this would be some of what is required for
us to interact with the Audible service. Skype installs an addin to internet
explorer that can be useful in using facebook chat, but beware of the
dreaded Google tool bar, which never helped anyone that I know of, but it
can cause a lot of irritation needlessly. It isn't necessarily fatal, but
the fact that these things can happen only says more about how access has
slipped in the Windows evolution.
73,

Dave, I don't knowingly accept anything I am not familiar with. I think
sometimes these things turn themselves on without you knowing it. For most
people, some of these add ons might help, but for us they are often more of
a burden than a help.
And what about viruses? Do any of them tell us that they are about to
invade your computer and ask if you want them or not and offer a yes or no
option? Hardly. Now having a good virus protection program is essential,
but that's just an example of what I am talking about.

Hi Harvey!
Tis true, addons often cause this problem. However they couldn't cause it if
you first hadn't accepted the addon in the first place that brings it to
you.
Good luck and hope you've licked it.
