We require:
An Internet Explorer browser toolbar extension that can retrieve a message from an internet-based server and display it to the user in ticker-tape fashion. It should be able to poll the server on a periodic basis to update the message. This extension must also contain a button that opens our site. The toolbar extension must contain a unique id (a rebate ID) that will be used when opening our site for the purposes of identifying the install instance, should a purchase be made. (like a cookie to recognize a referral code)
Upon installation the unique ID must be easy to insert ([login to view URL] pop-up) , but should be difficult to modify after installation. It should have the right certificates so MSFT will not block the installaiton process.
If the user could also select between IE and firefoz installion that would be a plus, i snot a must though. When you provide both solutions, please indicate so in your quotation.
