Is The Ad Aware Tool Bar Malware?

Now a lot of people who don't know what they are talking about is giving Blekko and Ad Aware a bad name by saying that their toolbar is malware. Well I hate to break the truth but there is no malware with Blekko or Ad Aware. Yes I have tested it and according to virus total (this site scans the item with 40+ scanners) it came back with 0/45 no internet security companies have marked Blekko as malware. This pokes a huge whole into every ones theory about Blekko being bad.

Do You Use The Tool Bar?

Yes but I don't use internet explorer that much so I don't really use it that much. However, when I am in internet explorer of course I have the tool bar. It does slow the browsing speed, but I don't notice it that much and I do like that Blekko and Ad Aware are working together to make their searches safer.

Is Blekko Malware?

No the site Blekko does not contain any malware adware or otherwise I have not detected, and form of malware on the site and neither have any major antivirus companies. So I ask why do people like to ruin its name? The item is safe, but people seem to have this idea that if you don't search with Google, Bing, or Yahoo that site has malware. This is not true, and while Blekko is not as well known as Google with their partnership with Ad Aware the web will be a safer place whether we want it to or not.

Is The Toolbar Malware?

No again the malware contains no form of malware. Why would an antivirus company give you a toolbar that contain malware. Keep in mind that it is not a Blekko toolbar this is an Ad Aware toolbar so then you are saying that the company is selling you malware. Not to mention no main companies have detected anything wrong with this site and with its growth over the years we might see more people using this over the traditional search engine. Not to mention you can ask any tech savvy person and they could tell you right away whether or not it is malware. The biggest hints are that it does not track anything, and it is not persistently running so go figure it out with those 2 hints.
