This was one of my reasons I moved to firefox (> 1 year ago). My IE kept being hijacked by spyware that installed toolbars that I did not want...

If you are using Firefox I recommend installing the Web Developer toolbar. I have been using it for months and I don't know where I would be without it now.
Words fade as the meanings change, but somehow, it don't bother me.

Hi
I use IE 6 + Firefox at work
I use IE 7 + Firefox at home
In other words Firefox is a must for me.
What is the web developer toolbar for???

The Web Developer toolbar gives you lots of control over how the page is
displayed so you can simulate the different ways users might see the page,
say for example by hiding images or disabling javascript. It also has links
to html and CSS validation, can outline block level elements, which is
usefull when you are having problems with a CSS design which isn`t behaving
as you expect. There is also a Javascript Console built into it which
displays errors in Javascript and also CSS. There is much more included,
you just need to download it and spend some time playing with it. I
recommend it.

I do too, but the Google toolbar for FF is still useful, e.g., intellisense auto-complete, which still isn't in the IE version. Highlighting and form auto-fill are also useful.

A few years ago, I wrote the first version of UltraBar[^], which copied a lot of the Google toolbar's features (this was back when the Google bar was pretty new, and spyware hadn't given toolbars a bad name). And it was customizable, you could add your own search engines and a couple other neat things. I don't think the company ever went anywhere...

I might consider the Google toolbar, but that's it.
This weekend I spent a couple hours cleaning up my Dad's computer. Tons of spyware, including spyware that advertises spyware protection (!); the Microsoft anti-spyware "solution", which expects my poor Dad to authorize every change made to teh system (including those made by toolbars), anbd of course, several toolbars, media palyers, and download managers that he had never requested or authorized.
This stuff is all junk.

I'd have said none. Howver, since discovering the MSN Deskbar (you can turn off the useless crap on the bar) it's been great. It also gives me a Desktop search in the task bar which is way better than Google's piece of crud.

I did the same as you. However, I still like the Google for web searching, so I tell the MSN Toolbar to pass all Web queries to Google using the Other Search Service option.

How is the MSN one better than the Google one?

How could you not include that in the list?
I only have the bars installed in IE, I try and keep my FireFox down to the bare bones - it uses enough memory as it is.

We just kind of assumed people have that installed already! You mean some people don't?

I didn't know that CodeProject Bar existed until now. But, sadly, only for IE.
Since I installed FireFox, I have never started IE again.
