spyware

I have just had a puter come to me with a thing called hotbar, now the owner probably downloaded this with something else and did not read the options and untick it. how many others have done the same thing, or even are aware of what might happen ,and do not realise the implications of not checking the download options very carefully. A newbee could end up with a system that wont even run like the one I had come in, using 85% resources in task manager at idle. Ok good for techies, but the general public are not aware yet that the internet can be a damaging thing. It does not matter to me what the mouths say I will still install and run spyware blockers on any puter that comes in without it
