Incredimail Business Model Based on Fraud.

You know the story, last month, Google dropped Incredimail from its Adsense account, leading to the latter's share price dropping.

Well I recently needed to access some POP mail, and thinking back to 2003 I turned to my favourite email client, installed it. On the rare occasion that I use Internet Explorer I noticed that there was an Incredimail toolbar and my homepage was set to Incredimail, with the google search bar featuring prominetly like the firefox start page.

Well I do not mind searching and clicking on adverts on the Firefox google search, after all Firefox provide me with a service and should get paid for it, and I personally chose that to be the start page. Incredimail though, provide no option with the installation as to whether you want these features. Most of their revenue from my understanding is from this search bar, and in my opinion is stolen money. I wonder how a public company can participate in such fraudulent behavior.

I have not uninstalled it yet so I am still to see whether the accusations that it was spyware which were all over the forums are true.
