I'm having the same problem with search miracle elite
bar. I remove it at least 3 times a day (first scan with
25 signatures, next two with 5 to 7 signatures). Does
microsoft or another REPUTABLE company have a blocker for
these annoying things. Is there a way for people to get
together and file harassment on the companies that make
these browser plug ins? Under code for "harassment" to be
filed something just has to be annoying and these things
are DEFINATELY annoying! Any suggestions???
