About ALOT
ALOT is all about making the Internet easy for you. How?
1. ALOT gives you the info you want
We've partnered with the very best to provide you with the information you want. And it's the 'you' that's important here - everyone is unique and we all have different interests. That's why we're creating special interest versions of our toolbar for you to choose from - such as the ALOT Recipes Toolbar with recipes from Better Homes & Gardens or the ALOT Music Toolbar with music from eMusic.
2. It's at your fingertips
You can have the info you want at your fingertips directly from your desktop with one of our ALOT toolbars as well as having all the stuff you love to know and read in one place with your very own my ALOT homepage.
3. It's easy and quick to use
We understand that you need to be in the know. We're committed to getting you the info you want quickly and easily - with ALOT you're only half a second away from finding what you're looking for.
4. And you only get what you want!
We understand that you need to have full confidence in our products and that your trust depends on us respecting your privacy. That's why we'll always ask you if you want to download the ALOT Toolbar first; we don't ask you for your personal information; and we make it really simple for you to uninstall the ALOT Toolbar if you no longer want to use it.
