Experience with AdWare.Zugo - Zugo Malware and Spyware

I was suspicious about installing Zugo because I had read in a couple different places that it contained AdWare.Zugo malware/spyware within the Bing toolbar from MS. I checked up on it myself and visited the site. It seemed legit, so I downloaded the toolbar. I have not had any problems with it at all; not one bit of malware or spyware. I used to be an advocate of Chrome, but have since switched back to IE. No problems here. Don't know how other users are experiencing this. If you see their Best Practices (http://zugo.com/best-practices/), it's pretty self-explanatory.

 

Thank you for the info, Tony, but I'm just not seeing any problems.

After reading what you said, I was a bit concerned, so I did a little experiment. I did a test search in Firefox for "social media" with the toolbar still installed and took a screenshot of the results. You can see it here: screenshot with Zugo. Then I uninstalled the toolbar and did the same search; as you can see, the same exact search results came up in the same amount of time: screenshot without Zugo.

I also did not see any increase in spam or anything like that while it was installed. But again, I thank you for your response and for the information.
