It also includes Shopper Reports, a price comparison tool which produces advertisements of best deals on the net in a window pane on the left side of IE. As well as this tool, hotbar also produces pop-up advertisements while you browse. Users can pay for an add-free version, or pop-up ads can be disabled in the free version by clicking the "Hotbar" tool button, then "Preferences" then clear the checkbox for "Show Hotbar popup offers." You can also clear the checkbox for "Enable Hotbar keyword search in Internet Explorer addressbar". Hotbar will collect your IP Address, date and time for each page you view, browser type and version, operating system, platform and URL's of websites you visit, which can include search terms you have entered into search engines. If you use the Hotbar Shopper Reports on Shopping or Travel, move Hotbar to the Spyware Doctor Ignore List.
