When I see anything that wants me to install any new toolbar etc, I
smell a rat, and normally running anti-spyware gets rid of it. But not
always. If you have a website that needs a large download it's a fact
that most users will click away from the site. Even a 1.5 meg download
is more than most will wait for. At least with PTViewer it's small
enough not to bother most users. I am HTML challanged and don't like
having to insert new code every time I want a new page.
