I downloaded the latest version of Yahoo Toolbar (I already had it, but it recommended I download a newer version) Neither my old version or my new one have the adware/spyware. The whole reason I got the new version was to get the adware. The yahoo toolbar download page showed the toolbar as having adware/spyware. What gives?
I tried going to the button gallery and it has no blue shield or antispy button. This is really weird. Any other options?

Yahoo! is misleading. I don't think it is on purpose; they are just a bunch of Yeahoo's. Click the settings button (avatar) on the Y! toolbar, click Add/Edit buttons, click Button Gallery and add the Anti-Spy button (blue shield) and save changes. Next click the Anti-Spy button on the Y! toolbar and that will download/install CA Yahoo! Anti-Spy

After you click "Button Gallery" don't click anything else. Below you will see two columns of buttons. The Anti-Spy button is the last one. Look again. It's there.

You might want to look at Fearless Fosdick added comment. The Anti-Spy button is right where he said it was. You sure you are running Version 7 of the Y! toolbar? However, you might consider using the free version of SuperAntiSpyware at superantispyware.com. I also use Windows Defender, Spybot, Lavasoft Ad-aware, Y! CA Anti-Spy, a-squared free but SuperAntiSpyware is the best for adware/spyware removal. Up to you. Have a good Labor Day Weekend.
