Cucumber - there is really no such thing as a "clean" toolbar - allowing anyone to remotely pop stuff on your pages is taking a HUGE risk. There are some really big companies in this business (I won't name names here) that make money installing these toolbars. While they might look good on the surface, once they are past windows security and actually on the PC, it's pretty darn hard to stop them from being turned into monsters.

Someone comes to you and says "I have this grea toolbar, perfectly safe" tell them to stick it up their collective asses - they are probably lying.
