  1. >> I've found there is an easy way which is to simply remove/rename the MxSmartUrl.dll file from the install folder >> Seems all the suggestions are part of the update.db file in the \public\SmartUrl folder. If you create a new empty text file named update.db and mark it read-only then things will go back to normal. This does it for me! Thank you VERY much for your time and research. I for one appreciate it greatly.
  2. Hello: For many versions one could work around the privacy problem of auto-search from the address bar by adding API.BING.COM to the Windows HOSTS file. Apparently the authors of Maxthon simply couldn't have that so they've worked around it somehow. Now again with version 4.4.3.1000 our privacy is being sent to who knows where and used who knows how and sold to who knows whom whenever we type a word in to the address bar. Does anyone know how, with version 4.4.3.1000 we can subvert this insidious behavior? Adding API.BING.COM to our HOSTS file no longer works. Thank you in advance for any knowledge anyone can share to avoid this privacy voilating behavior.
