One step forward and then another one backwards.

You may recall that in the last few weeks there was a lot of buzz surrounding the Ask Toolbar which is installed along with Oracle’s Java software if you miss the opt out button.

The buzz related to the fact Microsoft had classified the toolbar as malware, specifically the versions of the toolbar that had search protect code in them that kept users from modifying the search defaults, and this allowed their Windows Defender Anti-Malware program to remove the toolbar as an unwanted program.

Obviously they heard that MS was going to detect Ask as malware, so they went to Yahoo who MS Bing partners with.
