The man's got integrity.

 

That he does.
Hat's off to Bill!

 

If it wasn't for Bill and those who share his philosophy and ethics, software would just become adware/renta-ware/on-our-server-you-dont-own-it-we-own-you-ware and the quality of internet experience that many by their efforts have worked to build over the years would be greatly diminished.

 

i personally dont like tool bars and that is why i ditch comodo and ccleaner out of my pc's

 

.
Yes, I have to agree. The bottom line is it's hard to resist the money, but that's what you have to do to stay out of the scam business.

 

You can download CCleaner without the toolbar, get the slim version, exactly the same without the toolbar. Available here:

i know but dont like the whole idea of a company that supports such tools(tool bars)

 

Thats why Bill is so cool!! and ask.com is not
hurray for Bill!!

 

Personally, I won't really mind if he decides one day to opt for a toolbar for additional revenue.. as long as it's NOT an Ask toolbar, considering the bad rep that said toolbar has.


I really do admire Bill; prioritizing service over profit.
It's hard to find such a person these days.

 

You can't buy everything for money.

 

Bill!

thanks bob

 

Not in this lifetime..Bill cares about what is put on his and others pc
that and any tool bar is crap plain and simple

 

I agree. The problem is not with offering toolbars per say. It is specifically the ask.com toolbar because of their reputation for distributing the toolbar deceptively. I have never minded toolbar offers, such as Google, which are up-front and have a clear option to opt out. What is even better is an "opt in" option, where the user has to check the box instead of un-check it - hey, I can dream

 

I think Bill should go for it, its not like he got an income like Symantec

 

most of the times its ok to unistall ask toolbar without impact in the main program there is no problem with toolbars is just install unistall
i have comodo without toolbar working perfectly
