Hotbar collects and sends all your web site requests to it's server, this includes intranet sites, though it's not the full sites, just the url's it is still a security risk.

You might need to stop this one as well... (skins.hotbar.com)

You should (obviously) also make sure users remove the actual hotbar toolbar from within Internet Explorer though, otherwise you'll have all kinds of browser troubles when hotbar can't dial home to get its updates.. (does that each time you open the browser window..) (note: yahoo toolbar has similar functionality.. calls home all day long..)
Personally, I thought hotbar was a cool thing -- but that's a different issue altogether; if you've decided to block it, you need to watch for the other hostnames the client connects to.. :)
