I have not used the google or msn toolbars on TS, but I do kno that if you
lock down your TS so users can't install programs or write to HLKM you won't
have any problems with pop-ups or spyware. Unpriviliged users do NOT have
permission to install spyware, which is the cause of pop-ups.

If your users have write permission to the Program Files, Windows, System32
& Hard Drive Root you're in a losing battle.

I lock down the file system via group policy, so all of my Citrix server
have the same file system permissions.
