Check your speedBX is another free toolbar add-on that promises to place all sorts of conveniences at your fingertips, but it never really delivers. If you've used any type of toolbar before, understanding BX's simple interface should present no problems.
All the standard features are there--pop-up blocker, e-mail notification, weather forecast--and all performed well. The included trace-cleaning tools for cache, history, and cookies also did their job. In terms of extras, though, BX falls a bit short. It has links to MySpace, but not to any other popular Web sites. There's a shortcut for games, but only one link is offered. The RSS feature makes for a nice addition, but you can't choose your feed source, which is a major drawback. The online media player is preset with several different stations, and allows you to add others, but it wouldn't play any of the selected stations during our tests. In a truly odd glitch, BX didn't show up after we closed and re-opened the browser window. We had to go into our Tools menu to re-activate it.
Our suggestion for those in search of a useful IE toolbar: keep looking! There are plenty of other free and fully functional toolbars out there.
