Had To Remove My Swagbucks Toolbar :(

I had to remove my Swagbucks toolbar today.  I am very sad about that, as it was helping me get an extra swagbuck every day. 

Our internet connection kept going dead and everyone's computer in the house was affected, we finally figured out that the Swagbuck toolbar is what was causing it so I had to take it off my computer. 

My husband said our system is not that new and it is better used on a newer system. 

So I am bummed out about that.

That is a bummer. I only have it installed on my MacBook browser, so when I am working on my desktop I miss the swagbuck anyway.

there is a swagcode on the toolbar too

I didn't put it on for a long time because of a McAfee warning on it

I have it in now, and hopefully it's not what is causing my problems! I enjoy the extra bucks I am earning with it, even though I do miss half of them.

I have to wonder if either the SB toolbar or the MyPoints one is the reason for our hourly crashes. It drives me nuts but I don't want to lose my extra points!

That's terrible. I love Swagbucks. Just keep checking for codes. You don't have to have the toolbar. It's convenient, but you can read the blogs for codes, and read Gather for hints.

I have an old system and I am using it. However, I have to hide it or I have problems when I type things like I'm doing now.

Interesting! I may remove it from my laptop for a few days and see if that stops the problems I've been having.

Bummer! I get at least two SB's a day with the toolbar installed.
