I have problems using this bar. Whenever I run Ad Aware it recognises the kudoz tool bar as a bug and it keeps deleting it.

Any idea to help me?

Thank you

Inés

Same thing here! And now I cannot find the bar to redownload it!

I guess we should configure Ad Aware to let the Kudoz Bar be...

Sad regards...

Hi Everyone,

Other users have been experiencing the same thing. Very soon we will release another version which should correct the problem. I will make another post here when I release it.

Thank you, Colin! Nov 1, 2005

I have found this bar absolutely helpful, and I have kept installing it whenever I ran Ad Aware. Now, I have changed it and I am using Microsoft AntiSpyware. Let's see what happens!

As soon as you have developed the new one, let me know please!

Thanks and kindest regards!

Inés

New IE Toolbar Nov 4, 2005

Hi Everyone,

I just released another version of the KudoZ Toolbar for Internet Explorer. I scanned it with 3 popular spyware/adware tools and came up with nothing. Please let me know if this corrects the problem for everyone.

You can download it here: http://www.proz.com/toolbar/

Best Regards,
Colin

Hi!

Thank you! I have already downloaded it. Microsoft Antispyware asked me if I wanted to allow it. I agreed. I will keep you informed!

Very useful tool!
Really!

Kindest regards!

Still blocked Nov 10, 2005

Dear Colin,

I'm unfortunately still blocked from using the toolbar. My anti-virus software is Avast. It even didn't allow me to save the toolbar to my disk:

Win32:Adware-gen. [Adw]

is what it reported with the toolbar. Any ideas?

Anyway, thanks for your efforts to make it better.

Regards,
Jianjun

problems with V2 Nov 11, 2005

Hi Colin,

However, since my PC system was becoming more and more slow and unstable, I uninstalled the toolbar, cleaned it up, and installed the new version.

But- always a "but"- the design, behind the "Kudoz search" and "ask a question" signs, you can see all kind of things, from the desktop to words from old searchs to anything you might have written the day before, in some kind of crazy puzzle.
It really bothers.
Just to let you know so you can try to fix it.

Thanks.

Addenda:
When IE is the only open software, there is a white background behind the "Kudoz search" and "ask a question" signs. If I also open Outlook Express, I can see text from some emails from OE mixed with those sign words, instead of the white background.

Some interference? Uh?

Kudoz tool bar detected by antispyware programmes again Feb 1, 2006

I do not know why but the VERY USEFUL Kudoz Tool Bar is detected as some antispyware programmes as malware.

That did not happen at the very beginning when I installed the new version.

I sent a ticket, but nobody has answered yet.
Just to let you know so you perhaps can try to fix it.

Many thanks.

Inés

Don`t bother Feb 2, 2006

Inés,
I did the same. They coudn´t fix it.
However, it does not happen with the new version. But the new version does not work properly, at least in my machine. So, I went back to the old version.

Spyware, yes, all and every antispyware detects CRAM toollbar, HIGH RISK. The only solution I found was to add it to my "ignore list".
I can`t do without Kudoz toolbar.
Regards,

Walter

It works fine in my machine but I get bored when it appears as malware...

Well, I will try to find the ignore list in my AD-AWARE programme.

Thank you Walter, as usual.

You should be a Moderator!!! I think your work would be excellent!

Still spyware Feb 2, 2006

Hi Inés,

Well, I have a new PC now.

So, I decided to try V2 again. It works fine with this machine. However, the three antispyware I have (3) detect it as DANGEROUS TRHEAT, HIGH RISK spyware.

Back to a NEW ignore list.
