Where is the anti spy button for yahoo toolbar?

ATT.net Toolbar ate the CA Yahoo! Anti-Spy button!?

• I just got an email this morning from att.net suggesting that I upgrade my Yahoo! Toolbar to the ATT.net Toolbar. I just did so; however, the app button for CA Yahoo! Anti-Spy seems to have disappeared. ATT.net now appears to be promoting its "Internet Security powered by McAfee;" however, that costs an extra $5.00/month, whereas CA Yahoo! Anti-Spy was free. Since I already have another anti-virus program installed on this computer (Avast Home 4.8), I don't want to spend extra for att.net Internet Security. How do I get my CA Yahoo! Anti-Spy app button back?

• Answer:

  Here's some advice from a longtime Yahoo! Toolbar user and internet security veteran - Update your Avast! Free to the newest version (5.x) and use Lavasoft's Ad-Aware for anti-spy protection. I've been using this setup for years now and have NEVER been a victim of an attack. The Yahoo! Anti-Spy is better than nothing, but not by much. Yahoo! Anti-Spy does NOT provide ACTIVE protection - i.e. it does not actively check the web sites you visit for malware... it only scans your computer to see if you've already been infected. The newest version of Avast! has enhanced rootkit protection and some of its own anti-malware/anti-spyware protection. You can find Ad-Aware (free) here: http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php You can find Avast! (free) here: http://www.avast.com/index (Look for the "Still using avast! 4.8?" link to upgrade from 4.8. It's near a big orange arrow on the page.) Good luck, -T
