Yahoo Adds Anti-Spyware To Firefox Toolbar

By TechWeb Technology News

Yahoo Inc. has added its anti-spyware to its toolbar for the Firefox browser.

The Sunnyvale, Calif., portal also released this week a version of its Firefox toolbar for people using the open-source browser on Mac and Linux operating systems.

Yahoo Anti-Spy, available for download at no charge, enables users to remove spyware and adware from their computers. The utility had been available only in Firefox for Windows.

Along with anti-spyware, the Yahoo Toolbar lets user search a single website and add news syndication feeds to a person's My Yahoo homepage. In addition, the utility stores a user's search history and provides alerts when email arrives in a person's Yahoo account.
