"MICROSOFT DELETES OLDER ASK.COM BROWSER TOOLBARS"

Microsoft deletes older Ask.com Browser Toolbars

Microsoft delete the security software of older version Ask.Com browser and step head to Oracle software of new Version. This has been done because of long-bundled with Java even in the face of users’ complaints.

Oracle has sidestepped Microsoft’s new policy by changing its Java installer so that it adds a Yahoo browser tool to Internet Explorer (IE).

Microsoft has set security for their products for its different version such as Windows Vista, Windows 7 & Windows 8.1. Later the Microsoft has announced Ask.com is the security software in their app store for all version. It also been set as icon in the Internet Explorer as a new page.

Last month, Microsoft warned developers that as of 1st June 2015 its security software would finger programs that engage in “search protection,” lingo referring to programs that “prevent or limit users from viewing or modifying browser features or settings.”

Microsoft published the criteria it would use to define “search protection” in December 2014, and at the time said it would switch on detection and deletion on Jan. 1, 2015. For whatever reason, the deadline was extended: About three weeks ago Microsoft said that the trigger date would be 1st June 2015.

According to the deadline Which has been passed the Microsoft has remove his older version software and switch into the Oracle bundles with the Windows and OS X versions of Java.

Ask’s toolbar comes in versions for IE, Apple’s Safari, Google’s Chrome and Mozilla’s Firefox

Ask.com confirmed that its latest toolbar was immune from detection, as Microsoft said. According to sources with knowledge of the Oracle-Ask partnership, the latter had worked with Microsoft for several months to make its toolbar compliant with IE’s new rules.

Microsoft updated the news in Email – Statement that “After multiple renewals over the course of several years, we did not extend the relationship upon expiration of the most recent deal.”

Users have complained about the bundle of years, even going to the trouble of initiating Online petitions were thousands have called on Oracle to stop.

The Yahoo tool behaviour seemed to break one of the Microsoft rules it spelled out last year: “Our objective criteria states that a program should not … circumvent user consent dialogues from the browser or operating system,” one of those rules asserted. Yet Computer world never saw a message from Windows or IE to confirm the change to IE11’s search engine.

Microsoft isn’t the only browser maker to put the hurt on toolbars. Google has been bashing them for ages, stressing the high gripe volume from Chrome users about the category; limiting in-browser apps and add-ons to those distributed through the Chrome Web Store, where they can be vetted; and warning customers about dubious software that changes the home page or search engine.
