Looks like Yahoo Messenger has gotten a very bad habit recently, of installing the Yahoo Toolbar in IE without consent.
If you use Yahoo Messenger but install it without the IE Toolbar, then you get a security patch install warning from Messenger and accept it, then apparently the security patch will also install the Yahoo Toolbar, without any question, warning and of course, consent.
I'm personally not necessarily against the Yahoo Toolbar, but installing it without the user's consent strikes me as something that a respectable company should not be doing.
