I'd be more cautious about throwing in Trojans with spyware, they are similar but distinct categories of applications. I'm willing to acknowledge that there are two ends to the spectrum, from the out and out criminals through to the Googles of the world, who aren't quite whiter than white, but enjoy the lighter shades of grey. Whether any firms intentions can be so easily defined as malicious or not is fairly subjective. What sets apart a firm that merely sells on the data gathered to advertisers from Google who collect the data for their own advertising? Whether you consider the actions to be malicious depends entirely on your perspective - do you trust Google with that information? Is the difference that at least you know _where_ that information is going? Ultimately these are the questions that really matter and if you accept the terms by which the Google and their toolbar operate, then go ahead and use it. All I have tried to do is allow people to make up their own minds, to make informed decisions. On the flipside I'm sure there is much to recommend about Google toolbar or the other Google products. If you'd like an alternative to Google Toolbar, then Firefox or Opera are worth checking out. They do many of the same things, in particular the one which sparked this whole topic, the inline searching and highlighting of search terms. Both browser also have the advantage of being less frequent victims of exploits than IE, though don't be lulled into a false sense of security. I think I've said all I have to say on this subject and I can be quite certain that many list users are sick of the OT chat already, so I'll resist from further replies. -- Stuart Morgan

This information is stored by Google alongside the other data they collect linking the IP address to searches etc. Would you dispute this? > Also by definition, if it's a documented feature and it can be disabled, > it's not spyware. That's what the definition has evolved to become, it's not the original definition by any means. The original usage from the late 90s refered to any software or hardware which automatically 'phoned home' information about your computer, your computer usage or your web browsing habits. Following an uproar from users of such products many firms ceased the behaviour, some asked explicit permission to obtain this information whilst the rest continued as before but tried to hide the behaviour from the end user. It was this last group that has effectively redefined the wider understanding of what is meant by Spyware. Those larger firms still collecting this information, such as Google, have also tried to redefine the term to distance themselves from the attached bad press. Collecting such personal information such as browsing habits is still deeply unpopular with people if they are aware it is happening. With all that your internet usage can say about you: your hobbies and interests; what you buy (online); who you work for; what you read; your political affiliations; which banks you have accounts with and more intimate details (if you catch my drift). Should evidence of this be needed, look to Phorm, an organisation which last year signed a deal with major UK ISPs including BT and Virgin Media to track your browsing habits. It caused a major storm with questions in Parliament, Police investigations into violations of Privacy and Data Protection laws and users besieging their ISPs with complaints resulting in a climbdown. People were aghast at the idea this information would be collected, even though Phorms system would have stripped the data of all identifying information including IP addresses. The irony is that Google et al have been collecting exactly this information, without stripping IP address for years, and continue to retain every last bit of it in vast digital archives. More recently they have begun to make this data available to governments on request. Most disturbingly in China where it lead to the arrest of citizens showing interest in democracy and other banned topics in their Google searches, page views and forum postings. Now I should be interested to know what, if anything of the above, is not accurate (or absolute total uninformed codswallop). -- Stuart Morgan

    2. I think what Stuart's getting at is that if you are concerned about privacy then you need to be aware of what the toolbar will do (track browsing habits and send to google) if you don't disable it. You can always use Firefox if this does bother you, despite what some people say it is generally more stable and secure than IE, plus the search box in the top right provides the functionality of the google toolbar without all the other features.

    3. I'm sorry but that is absolute total uninformed codswallop. Google toolbar is 100% spyware free, period. Pagerank is not spyware, pagerank is a part of the agorithm that Google use to rank web page. The pagerank feature of Google toolbar merely displays the pagerank of the current page. Also by definition, if it's a documented feature and it can be disabled, it's not spyware.

Sorry to go off topic folks, but I feel I should correct that impression so that people can make informed choices. Google toolbar is spyware if certain advanced features are enabled. It reports every page you view to Google in order to build up a profile of your interests for targeted advertising - the very definition of spyware. This 'feature' called PageRank can be disabled in the settings. Google has to make money somehow, they wouldn't pay programmers to create their toolbar software and distribute it free of charge unless there was something in it for them. Googles income comes from targeted advertising and to those ends they are collecting information about you in whatever ways they can. This includes through your searches, through websites hosting Google adverts or hit counters, through reading your email in Google Mail, through Google toolbar, the documents you view or create in their new 'Office' software or their new Chrome web browser. Their whole business model is built upon spying and spyware. If you feel you can trust Google and the governments to which they impart this information upon request, then none of this should matter. -- Stuart Morgan
