881447 - Blocklist SweetPacks Toolbar add-on

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Blocklist Policy Requests, defect)

Description

[Kris Maglione [:kmag]]

Rebranded SweetIM toolbar. Does not seem to bypass about:newaddon, but changes the default search engine regardless of opt-in and does not change it back on uninstall.

We already block versions 0-1.7.999. New version is 1.13.0.1.

ID: {EEE6C361-6118-11DC-9C72-001320C79847}

Note: I'm assuming this is the add-on responsible, based on past experience. WebCake and PutLockerDownloader are installed at the same time.

Hm. Also installs "Updater By SweetPacks" after a restart ({7D4F1959-3F72-49d5-8E59-F02F8AA6815D}).

FTR, I tried using every email address I knew and also the one on the site to no avail. I finally used their web form, but I suspect I won't hear back from them.
