Yahoo Toolbar with Anti-Spy

Link says it all. A pop-up blocker with a spyware removal tool built in. Anybody think this would work well?
After reading a few posts on the message board, it doesn't seem like it's a powerful enough tool to keep your machine 100% clean. Hopefully Google will come up with a more powerful version.

It works good enough to get rid of tracker cookies and some other stuff. Its good if you have a yahoo email account because it alerts you to new messages. Otherwise if you arent logged in witrh the toolbar there are a bunch of unnecessary buttons. Plus it downloads all the buttons when you go on to the net so it slows down the browser sometimes.

Since installing SP2 on my XP Pro machine, I do not get anymore pop ups using Internet Exploder.
Also my cookies, the bad ones, are axed as I am using SpySweeper, and it runs in the background watching for that stuff.
