yAssist Module

Options
Just lately, I have been getting the sorry "Internet explorer had to close" messages everytime I shut down an IE window. No problem with IE, just the annoying message. If I report it I get the following - any ideas what to do with it. If I follow their link it just takes me to a yahoo page with no relevant info on this yassist module thing.

************ (this is the message I get)

    do you use the toolbar or Yahoo Messenger ??

    I get the same message when I try to watch embedded winows media on some web sites and I'm 100% sure it's nothing to do with Yahoo

    This thread may help ---> http://messages.toolbar.yahoo.com/toolbar/threadview?bn=TOO-YTIE&tid=2446&mid=2446&tof=8&m=tm&rt=1

    Updating to the latest Yahoo Toolbar may help too.

    possibly uninstall the old version first I've just been reading, then download it again if you REALLY want the thing

    Oh hi guys - not really on the ball tonight!

    I use Yahoo toolbar, nothing else, and only downloaded that for the spyware thing and popup blocker, hardly use the search facility at all, most of the buttons are annoying, only uses the mail one that even more annoyingly keeps falling off the edge of the screen requiring me to press the arrow to even see it!! LOL

    Use Yahoo mail and the toolbar, nothing else. Have had the toolbar up and running for some time with no probs, seems strange that MS are putting this off on yahoo without it seems a valid response from yahoo.
