It seems to me that the latest wave of bad malware, at least for Macs, is toolbars. Apart from the Photoshop upgrade issue, the last two times I've had problems with my machine I just could not solve for a long time, it concerned commercial custom browser toolbars that I could not get rid of.
And this one, "Community Toolbar" (as if I've have not have quite enough of the social web, thanks), I had not even installed! And yet I kept getting error messages from it. Even when using other apps! And I'm not alone.
OK folks, it's cool to enhance browsers, and it's OK to try to earn money on it also. But for Lord's sake, don't make your software cling to the user's computer like a cold in summer. It's very bad manners.
