Yahoo! Toolbar Beta With Anti-Spy
Tuesday, June 01, 2004
The search engine wars are back, only this time it has more to do with added value than search results. Since Yahoo dropped Google as its search partner, Google has come out with 1 gig free email accounts. Now Yahoo is trying to tap deeper into the popular toolbar add-on by launching a new one to block spyware.
BETA: Find and remove spyware and other unwanted programs
Y! Toolbar also comes with Pop-Up Blocker,
search tools, personal bookmarks and more…
On a related note, I have noticed Yahoo has been indexing new pages at a quicker pace than Google lately. I wonder if it will continue or if Yahoo is just playing catch up for now.
