Websearch toolbar, funwebproducts and search assistant are just some of MANY products that are owned by ask jeeves. They have the ability to redirect any user to any site they wish at any time. All those free smilie ads you see, Search Assitant, websearch toolbar etc are all spyware/adware owned by ask jeeves. How long will it take match.com to start throwing up popups,redirect users to thier signup page, or to insert thier own ads when a user is about to sign up to true.com americansingles.com date.com etc?
