Hmmmm .....

Is there $ to be made in anti-toolbar software

Kind of like spam blockers?

Don't think the returns will be as high as toobars but interesting to consider

Hey Vick,

There could be money to be made. Unfortunately, much like spyware, toolbars come in many shapes and flavors and whoever does a tool for them has to manage to keep up with them (Like the viruses and the antiviruses).

Known toolbars would not be that hard to write against.

In response to the rest of the thread, unfortunately, it is hard to get action taken when Microsoft and AOL are two of the loudest voices AGAINST spyware and toolbar legislation. They use the technology that makes these things possible extensively throughout their products and tahy are not, anytime soon change that direction.
