Also i have recently installed version 0.9.7 of the software with the browser toolbar component. I think that this toolbar it is very useful to search anything, on yahoo, ebay and amazon. It gives the opportunity to connect to ebay website automaticall that from my point of view is very good because I am an ebay client. Having less free time, this toolbar is giving me the opportunity to quickly access ebay, amazon and to seek necessary information on yahoo search. Like other search toolbars, web page image results are visable in a search tray for easy review of not only the visual images of the site but also the written headlines. This is not spyware or adware. Searching through other threads I found these links that I think can help everyone http://www.spigot.com/uninstall.html http://www.spigot.com/network_error_assistant.html I am using also Pdf creator for a long time and I am very pleased of the program.
