UPDATE: If you have been looking for the viewbar, don’t bother. Agloco is Dead. I would encourage you just to quit using the toolbar if you do have it. It is not going to do anything for you other than to put adware on your system anyways and you aren’t getting paid for it.

To uninstall the Viewbar in Windows all you need to do is click on your start menu, find it there and click on the “Uninstall” icon and you are all set.

Honestly I don’t know. I check in there every week or so to see if any new information is out, but it seems they have run into a bit of a snag with the ad servers. When will it be done? Who knows.

Apparently John Chow created a video recently using the viewbar and this is what he had to say:

The AGLOCO Viewbar is real and it does exist. I know because I’m using it right now. Akshay Mavani sent me a beta Viewbar to try out and give my impressions.

The Viewbar software is a 1.8 MB download. When installed, it takes up 5 MB of space. The Viewbar is not any bigger than the Windows task bar. The version I am running shows ads by Google and Google is the default search engine. The ads are not targeted at the moment because it hits only one ad server. The rest of the ad servers have not been connected.

So…it is in testing phase still, but far enough along that it could be tested by one of the more active Agloco backers. Let’s hope it is ready soon.

UPDATE: Some payout information has recently been released and I have written another post about it going more in depth with it. Please read my post Agloco Payouts Explained for more information. Actually…even this is inaccurate now. Agloco is dead.

• Members earn a monthly share of the AGLOCO revenue based on the use of the AGLOCO Viewbar™ that month.
• Members earn part of the company based on the use of the AGLOCO Viewbar™ that month (currently a maximum of five hours are rewarded). Click here for details.
• Members who use our referral system to help build the AGLOCO network will earn more. (AGLOCO only has significant value as a large network and people who help build it should be rewarded. – We also feel that the early users who told friends about YouTube or MySpace or even Google probably deserved something too, but no referral system was available to record their work).
• Members will also get a share of any commissions AGLOCO gets when a Member purchases a product or service from an AGLOCO Sponsor company.

UPDATE: AGLOCO is DEAD. AGLOCO is a SCAM. DO NOT even bother with it anymore.

Today’s hottest Internet businesses are all about the power of social networks. Companies like MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube have become worth billions because businesses have realized that these social networks are generating huge advertising and marketing opportunities. As these social networks grow, the economic potential for its owners – and the advertisers who target the site’s users – is remarkable.

At AGLOCO, we asked a simple question: The users created the community, where’s their share of the profit?

It was from this question that AGLOCO set out to create the Internet’s first Economic Network, harnessing the power of Internet-based social networks to directly benefit the Members who help to create the community..

Becoming a member of AGLOCO is as simple as completing a brief sign-up page (name, age, location and email address.). Once you’re a Member, you will be asked to then download the Viewbar™ software. (Note: the Viewbar™ software is currently unavailable, as it is in closed testing. It will be ready for public download in a few weeks, and members will be notified when it is available.)

UPDATE: This was the final update AGLOCO ever made. The Death of AGloco was shortly afterwards. They even maintain the comments I believe because they delete everything that is submitted after like November.

The Viewbar™ is a small toolbar that rests on the bottom of your screen or browser window while you surf the Internet. The Viewbar™ software is what enables AGLOCO to collect the money you are earning while browsing the Internet.
The Viewbar™ keeps track of your online interests and preferences, and uses that information to deliver the most valuable message to you at the right time. Because privacy is a core principle of AGLOCO, the Viewbar™ communicates with our secure servers in an encrypted fashion to keep your information private.

Some people have asked: “Is the Viewbar™ some kind of ‘spyware’?” The answer is simple: The Viewbar™ is the opposite of spyware. Spyware sneaks onto your computer without your knowledge or permission, it steals your private information, and it’s nearly impossible to remove. Unlike spyware, the Viewbar™ is completely permission based, it keeps your information private, and you can always turn it off with a single click.

The AGLOCO Viewbar™ (currently in limited beta) is shown below:

The Viewbar™ also has many additional features:

* Search (which lets us get you money from search engine companies)
* Contextual ads (which lets us get you money from advertisers)
* Anti-fraud and other software utilities (which lets us get you money from software companies)

Here is a screenshot of what the Viewbar will look like on your desktop:
