Too bad nobody can actually download the darn thing.

Awesome! I already have a toolbar from the Premium account, so I don't really need it...but it does look sweet...

Well, that's a first, a sponsored neopet.

Important Bit - As part of a limited time offer we will be giving everybody who downloads it an exclusive chance to adopt the 49th Neopet before anybody else. You will also get 1,000 NP and access to an exclusive Frozen Paint Brush that will only work on this new Neopet!

(if you are wondering, the new Neopet is called a Bori and is featured in our upcoming Hannah and the Ice Caves TCG expansion!)

The little computer on the side looks too detailed. I know it sounds dumb, but it just looks odd. D:

Well, it won't work on my PC. Maybe you need windows xp. I hope not!

No, I have Windows XP, and it doesn't work. I'm pretty sure it's a problem on their part.

They don't seem to have uploaded the actual file for downloading yet, which is why everyone's getting errors - it will tell you the file size is 0 bytes so...

On a side note, I'm a bit sad to see this type of thing on neopets. This is not a sponsor game, this is a program that could be potentially dangerous (toolbars are notorious spy/malware, and they often fight with competing ones already existing on your machine). Does anyone know if the downloading option is available to users under the age of 13? This should be one of the activities that requires parental consent..

I have yet to have a problem with spyware/malware on Yahoo or Google toolbars. I think the ones you're thinking of are the actual spyware toolbars you only get if you have the spyware already on your system. I seriously doubt that Neopets would participate with spyware.

Ah. yes, user lookup woes

. ...And I can't find my original file. Well, I'll have to make a new one... My last one took 1.5 hours.

Potentially, yes, it could be. Is it probably? No...

Some of the smarter bits of malware out there though have actually started to install themselves into pre-existing toolbars; they're data-miners or redirect 404/searches.

Whether the program is dangerous or not isn't a particular issue. It is really not safe to have children installing these things without knowledge of the *potential* concequences. It's easy to look over that fact with offers of a new pet, np, and *gasp* a paint brush!
