EVIL!!!!!

Not only will this tool bar SELFINSTALL by its own (made by the same people who dose those pop up adds that look like a windows display message and those Internet Firends) but it also makes your homepage Xupiter.com, makes all searches go through it's web site, DOWNLOADS PROGRAMS SUCH AS GAMBALING APPS AND THEN LAUNCHES THEM, and also thwarts all temps to set IE's previous settings.

As one guy said:

"When I find the bastards who programmed this thing I'd be happy to castrate them with a pair of dull pinking shears," fumed one of Xupiter's many unhappy victims in a newsgroup posting.

Good luck brother.
