I've put togther a free Astronomy Toolbar that will add a toolbar into Internet Explorer or Firefox with the following functions:

- Check out the prices on various astronomy equipment and accessories
- Search Google for whatever you want from within the toolbar (search histories increased to 25 in V1.2)
- Highlight your search terms on the results pages that are returned
- Connect to various news sources for the latest astronomy and space news
- Software Resources
- Equipment Reviews
- Weather Information
- Audio & Video Resources (14 new resources added in V1.3)
- 25 Astronomy Podcast Resources (6 new podcasts added in V1.2 & V1.3 incl. NASA & ESA)
- Astronomy Shopping Resources
- The latest news headline displayed in the toolbar

There's no Spyware, Adware or other Malware included with the toolbar.

Gary,

Just as the download completed, my AV software detected an ADWARE. Maybe i have to adjust the settings on my AV? I am using Avast AV software.

Regards,
Ray

I'm not familiar with Avast AV. Many anti-virus, anti-adware and anti-spyware apps have been run (on different PCs) to check that no such malware is buried in the code (a 3rd-party tool was used to build the toolbar) and it's come up clean on all of them. Are you trying to install the IE version or the one for Firefox?

I have a problem with the ie version.

When I switch it off to make space so my daughter can play a game on the BBC site, and I then put that game to full screen it comes up with an error and forces me to shut down IE

If I leave it there everything works fine.

By "swtiching off" do you mean unticking the toolbar for display in IE under the View/Toolbars menu? Do you have any other toolbars installed? What's the URL for the BBC game (I want to see if I can replicate the problem)?
