marcohastror: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The brothersoft.com site clearly says, "Tested by 3 antivirus solutions, this software does not contain any kind of trojans, spyware or viruses".
Yet, when I install it, it tries to install random spyware into my computer, 'highly recommended' by PSPad.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And Brothersoft are right as PSPad does not contain any kind of trojan, spyware or viruses. The installer may try to install something considered spyware but Jan does not make the installer. In fact nearly all free software will try and install something else in the installer but will always give you the option not to. marcohastror: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I rerun the PSPAD installer, it's now [b]Babylon Toolbar[/b] which is tried to be installed by default. [url=http://postimage.org/image/8suf8f4tt/][img]http://s8.postimage.org/8suf8f4t t/pspadoffer.jpg[/img][/url]-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Even in your image it is clearly saying it is going to install something other than the program you want and makes it clear how to disable that. marcohastror: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is really the reason why so many people complain about Windows-software in general. Who the hell would have accepted anything like this in a Linux-environment?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most Linux software does not come with an installer gui and just installs it's self silently so who could say what else it installs? marcohastror: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope the profit on adding this crap to the installer is really worth it economically. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You mean as opposed to the profit made from not including anything? -- Carbonize <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,57878,57880> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
