Java-applet support in browsers used to be a prerequisite during the
pre-instant-messengers era; that is when online chats happened through
Java based apps in browsers.
These days an online tool like a Youtube video downloader would also
require Java.
Besides Ask.com appears to be strong through its Ask Partner Network.
Symantec[1] also is in that network and includes the toolbar in its
products.
Symantec is reputed as an anti-virus company. Can we say it distributes
malware in its products?
