You are wrong. It does not update itself probably unless you specifically tell it to. I don't even use it in ie but the last time I checked my version it was 0.7.x.x.x and the newest version is at 2.0.

Read the advisory and you will see "How it is owned"

from the google toolbar faq:

"How can I learn when a new version is available?

The Google Toolbar automatically updates itself when a new version is available. This may not happen immediately, but it will eventually. If you learn that there's a new version out and you've just got to have it, you can reinstall the toolbar to make sure you're driving the latest model. (You may need to uninstall first, though this shouldn't normally be necessary.) "


again, i read that advisory, but i dont understand it at all.

There are many things that can prevent a program from auto updating on any pc. Group policy and security settings is one. My toolbar never updated like I said, and the truth of the matter is there are people still running old versions.

But it's Windows so what else is new? I really could care less.

Last week it was stack-smashing, this week it's XSS, next week it'll be gangbanging midgets.
