You're an idiot. Have you read the TOS for hotbar? The surfer must agree to the condition that their web usage will be collected. It's in the terms:

Did you know that all of those adaware programs also pick the Alexa toolbar up as spyware? Why? Because it collects data, which i've agreed to let it do that. You say it's malicious, i say people shouldn't be installing software without reading the terms of use, and then having a big ol' bitch about it.
