When I first downloaded the hotbar program it came with two ferret skins,
one albino and a sable....both adorable. But I would really recommend
you reconsider downloading the hotbar as it is SPYWARE much like the
Weather Cast and the Time/Date thing. If you are using Kazaa, or are on
sites you would rather no one found out about, you are very traceable. I
just happened to do a spyware check on my computer about 2 weeks after I
downloaded the Hotbar....and I found over 200 program (taking up memeory)
that I never downloaded that were associated with the Spyware I
unknowingly downloaded. I am NOT a "computer geek" and if it weren't
for some friends I would have never known. If you in doubt download a
program called AD-AWARE (or there are other similar ones) and it scans
your system for these programs and lets you go through and delete them.
