It didn&#39;t install the toolbar on my system. Sadly, developers of freeware need to get money to continue their work and this is one of the ways they&#39;ve been forced to do it. As long as there as the user has a choice I won&#39;t object too loudly. </p> <p>What I find objectionable is the commercial security software, like Norton and Spysweeper, that are supposed to protect the user from adware toolbars and the like doing the same thing. Bottom line: always be observant when installing software these days as just about everything now comes with optional toolbars. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7623#post-78414 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 06:48:30 +0000 goodgotd 78414@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>don&#39;t use the installer, grab the bare foxit &amp; make your own shortcut.
