December 19, 2005 (Press Release) --
Getting Started with BHO
BHOs (Browser Helper Objects) add functionality to internet explorer. These modules are similar to plug-ins and are coded ActiveX objects. the use of BHOs allows the software developer to customise and control Internet Explorer browsing sessions. This is done by accessing the events and properties of the browser session. The BHO is not displayed to the user and that is why using BHO Manager helps the user to know what BHOs are installed on his system. In addition, the user can disable and re-enable some or all of them, this is necessary because not all BHOs are implemented correctly (i.e. some have bugs) and can cause problems when the user navigates the web (even cause crashes). These BHOs are not properly tested with other BHOs. Therefore, they could cause conflicts. Another reason is that some BHOs are installed by spyware or adware applications, without the user having knowledge of there existence.
Accordingly, BHO Manager will allow the user to define conflicts by disabling any BHO installed (without uninstalling it). Another benefit the user gains by using BHO Manager is that he/she can detect any incorrectly installed BHO and remedy that problem.
