.... it should be considered as malware.
It installs itself with plenty of programs as default option checked. Instead of allowing the user to check it if they want instead of forcing it on users which go too fast or are ignorant.
Each time i go to friends and family which have not so much computer knowledge i need to install ask.com toolbar.
It uses resources for nothing since it search engine is extremely bad.
I almost never finds what you look for.
Those million users they claim to have are people which didn't watch out enough and got it pushed on.
A good tool would not be per default checked on installation but allow users to check it only if they want. People would look for it. Until now i have yet to find someone I know which actually wanted the ask.com toolbar.
