It's well known that the Google and Yahoo search engines and toolbars are full of spy and ad ware, you don't really need them, just make a shortcut to Google and you can go straight to their web search page. Several recent software releases have included the option to install the Google or Yahoo toolbars with the installation of the program, in some cases they have cunningly hidden the option not to install toolbars and you end up with them every time you log on to the web. If you do do a format and reboot, make sure when you load your software that you don't install the toolbars with it, unless you really want to that is.
