Spyware? Yahoo!

Either the Yahoo! UK & Ireland site needs a more careful copywriter, or they’re being amazingly open about what their toolbar contains:

Yahoo UK home page featuring “Yahoo! Toolbar with spyware.” link

(They seem to have a real talent for stupid top-left links; I’m now getting “Upgrade your browser now!” when using the latest Safari and Firefox on a Mac, leading through to a page saying “Sorry, your system does not meet the minimum requirements to install Internet Explorer 7.”)

Do they say also "Yahoo! search - for more irrelevant results than Google"?
