Hi Matt,

I didn't have any of those issues. I got the program from

Your warning is well heeded, though, and it's great you posted this reminder to all. These days I find that it's imperative to do Custom installs and deselect all the optional extras.

    As an example: Recently, I recommended 7-zip. I downloaded and reinstalled it before recommending it just to be sure it was safe. All went well for me. There were no added annoyances rearing ugly heads so I told them about the program. The person to whom I recommended software, though, had a 64-bit system (mine's 32-bit). They ran the 64-bit install and were confronted with similar to what you list above. I also suspect it depends upon where one gets the installation file from on the 'net and how some of the host sites "dress up" these freeware programs to make money from advertisers.

Regards,
Noel
