    not entirely true... her nickname is tarla the deflator, what ever item she gives out instantly deflates (Most of the time anyway :p ). thats the reason they are worth so little.

    You actually get the link when you install the toolbar and the icon flashes, afterthat you only have about 15minutes to click it and get the item. Else you will get the message saying she is at the prize warehouse and get nothing.

    I saw a post on a different forum, and im pretty sure the toolbar can and does track what your doing, if you look in your cookies folder you will see cookies that the toolbar made which i think are tracking cookies. TNT usually doesnt abide by their own rules, terms of service whatever you call it, so im sure they are tracking ppl with this toolbar, i have used programs for a long time and have never got iced until a few days after i installed that stupid toolbar...coincidence? no

    after reading that, i've uninstalled it :p

    even after having the toolbar for months, i've only managed to hit tarla once.

    Even other users were posting the link on chatboards and mine didnt even flash :twisted:

    i doubt its spyware.. i think its a way for tnt to make extra money from redirecting users to a search engine (ask.com i believe) through the search box on the toolbar.

    Im not guaranteeing they are spying, even though I belive they are, and the toolbar has cookies that dont expire for 20 years... whats the point of the cookie not expiring? I think it doesnt expire to log what accounts you have used... i uninstalled mine, but like I said, there is no guarantee its spyware

    Theres no way at all TNT can risk the chance of any spyware. Unless they say it in the T/C they could lose millions of dollars

    it is probably hidden in the TOS, and some spyware is legal...not keyloggers, but it might not even be spyware, the cookies they have for the toolbar could be tracking cookies...well thats classified as legal spyware..

    err, could you please check your spelling before submitting a lengthy(or semi lengthy) post.

    just glancing, i see three typos

    [EDIT]: I just realized that sounded mean

    it wasn't meant to be.

    I'm just a grammar fanatic?
