We need an Internet Explorer toolbar that serves as a pop-up/under ad blocker & web searching device. TOOLBAR: 1. leftmost 'icon' = our name or logo (click to our site) 2. A drop-down box directs where the search terms should be 'posted' to. (eBay, our site. we provide URLs) 3. Type keywords into search box & hit enter OR click 'search'. 4. Button, when clicked, shows local help page. 5. ON/OFF button for the ad blocker. 6. A counter shows ad blocks since installation. 7. "Email this page to a friend" - button will POST some FORM data to our site: URL of the page they want to send. We will design and host a page where the user can enter the email addresses. EXAMPLES For #1-6 above & INSTALLATION below, check out [login to view URL]'s toolbar. For #7 ("email to a friend"), check [login to view URL]'s toolbar. There is a decent article re: designing blockers (& toolbars as BHO’s) w/ source (reference only please) at: [login to view URL] INSTALLATION Installed easily on the user's computer using ActiveX (is there a better way?) Uninstall cleanly via Windows control panel. We need to be able to customize URL list w/o having to recompile (INI file or HTML like [login to view URL]'s ?). DETAILS 1. No easter eggs, spyware, unauthorized code. 2. Bug fixes to be included for agreed-upon period (120 days?) 3. No visible/invisible display of name/copyright other than ours. 4. Suggestions? Once awarded, product & deliverables due w/in 30 days (detected bugs squashed) [complete in 15, 10% bonus]
## Deliverables
1. Complete & fully-functional working program in executable form & well-documented source code w/short compiling/installation instructions. 2. Full-rights ownership & copyrights to all work. 3. Should be created as a Browser Helper Object (BHO), in ATL, unless you can convince us there is a better way.
## Platform
Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5+
