DoxDesk.com reports that
EStart, also called BandObjects, modifies the link toolbar in Internet Explorer,
that it is bundled with "Go MP3" and that the software opens a sidebar with 'related' links
when a targeted keyword is spotted in a link clicked or terms entered into a form.

If you have any of the files related to EStart on your system,
please send them
for additional analysis. Generally, I have only analysed a
few versions for each software component listed at this web site. With your help I
will be able to look at both old and more recent versions of the EStart software.
Thank you very much for your time!
