I've got their new toolbar on all my computers. Namely because of the Spellchecker and secondly for the pop-up blocker. The thing I've noticed though, is at some point I've activated Page-Ranker.

Apparently Google is sick of the Google-bot being ground to a screeching halt by the tonnes of bullshit lining the inter web. So, they've designed a program that get your computer to do it for them.

Ingenious and diabolical... just the way I like my Google...

Perhaps you should learn how to work software before you use it, so you aren't "somehow" activating things?

Perhaps you learn how formulate a decent insult so you don't "somehow" embarrass yourself?

Maybe Rotovia didn't activate anything at all. Maybe it was undisclosed spyware.

Which is why I will never download a google toolbar.

I wasn't trying to insult you. I was trying to let you know that your ignorance had a bit more to do with your problem than Google's evil designs to trick you into being their web crawling bitch.

It would only be undisclosed if you're too stupid to read the E.U.L.A.

Meh. I was assuming that Google was as evil as Sony, making vague references to "digital rights management," while not telling you about that rootkit that could n00k your CD drive.

I never have read the EULA in question, because I assume it involves spyware.:D

Oh they're evil alright. But the clever kind. They don't just slap spyware on you. The make it so it's easy for to mistakening activate it from a dozen places. But in plain site enough for you to shrug and not care.

I'm really concerned Google Spyware will pick these ideas up and use them. I'm annoyed enough with all the crap they're started shoving into their homepage. I miss the good old days with just the word "Google" and searchbar... arseholes...

I'm so bad ass, I don't even need to capitalize it or form it into a compound word.

Also, who is this Noone you speak of? NO ONE I've heard of, surely.
