Dumb move on Symantecs part. The Ask toolbar is detected by multiple malware scanners as adware/malware.

The Ask toolbar is detected by multiple malware scanners as adware/malware.

And rightly so, IMO-

Does anybody actually WANT these toolbars? Do the Ask, Yahoo, etc toolbars even do ANYTHING useful? All I can see is them being used to advertise the site.

Doesn't matter if they physically do anything. It's another form of advertising and directing traffic to affiliate web sites.

I don't know where the link is now but it was widely rumored that the AVG/Yahoo deal was astronomical. It's big business...

Oh, since when you're into torrents?

Updating....

I've used my share. I just take issue with the "if it's there it must be free" attitude.
