Scratch toolbar

I found in several post the following link:

Scratch Toolbar Download
Notice: Work in Progress

Does someone know if the scratch toolbar is a real safe MIT-made tool? I serenely installed it on my PC then I suddenly realized that the URL was from "ourtoolbar.com" (http://scratch.ourtoolbar.com/) not from mit.edu!!!

Hope I didn't make anything wrong to my PC...

Hi everyone. This toolbar is not created by the Scratch Team at MIT. We cannot say if it's malware or not.

Well that can't be good...

Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback.                              http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

So, bad news... I think the Scratch Team should ask that people to remove their logo from something that is not related to them...

Re: Scratch toolbar

The SCRATCH toolbar was actually made by a member on this site, but someone who is NOT part of the SCRATCH team (created by ihaveamac).

I've tried it out before, it's fairly okay, and so far, my computer has not picked it up as spyware/malware/virus/worm/et al. Not exactly what I was looking for I was looking for something that would efficiently search the SCRATCH website via project tags), it's kind of like a simplified version of your typical search engine toolbar.  tongue

EDIT: Read this thread for more information about the toolbar:
