    I'm glad you have a life, just glad it's not mine.

    Thanks for the update ash. I think there is nothing new in this. We can clean private data and remove toolbars manually too. But, with this we can quickly clean browser junk. It looks like a toolbar, so no no for me.
    When nothing goes right, go left.

    Decided to give it a shot, installation process offered to chage search engine to "Yahoo", unchecked that.

    The toolbar is nothing special, didn't like it, uninstalled.

    It changed my Firefox's address bar search engine to Yahoo

    Had to open, about:config

    search for keyword.url (without the quotes)

    set it to “http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q=”

    P.S: to set other search engines as default: Keyword.URL - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

    @ash: does it use anything other than default Yahoo toolbar? Yahoo toolbar also has an anti-phishing module.
