It has been brought to our attention that the first problem we disclosed in
our Google advisory ("Tap [eavesdrop] to key presses in the toolbar's search
box") also affects the following toolbars:

Alexa v6.5.11775 from
http://pages.alexa.com/prod_serv/quicktour.html?p=TBMenu_W_t_40_L1

Ask Jeeves dated 18-Jul-2002 from

We would like to thank John Davis for letting us know of these problems.

You can read about the vulnerability in detail at
http://sec.greymagic.com/adv/gm001-mc/ and you can also test the toolbars
above (or any other toolbar) using the first demonstration in that URL.
