In reply to Kundan Raj Bhattarai. Exactly Kundan, These freeware developers somehow have to earn. So, they cleverly hide such additional items in installation process. 90% of people may have habit of pressing NEXT >> NEXT without even looking what's going on. This proves beneficial for them. So, be careful next time :)

Hi there. I used to install add on software too while installing the main software. But later as you said I started looking carefully while installing the software. Instead of selecting recommended option I used to select customize option for installing software so that I can prevent myself from installing software. Later on I knew about a software unchecky which will warn you if a shareware or freeware software is trying to get installed.

I am really fed up with all the sharware software that is packing in Toobars, ADDon in their software. I use EULAlyzer software that acts like a lawyer and analizes the entire user agreement and reply back in detail all wording that is strange, and third party software, that includes toolbars and ADDon software. (Developers some I amy say have found away to install the toolbars and ADDon even when you have unchecked the boxes stating that you do not want them.

AVG is very good at hiding Addon in your registry that can only be found on a manual basis, when you uncheck the box, saying you do not want the Addon, and will not be in your Browswer Addon. I can understand free software performing this dangerous act, because they need the extra money to support their webpage and software. Shareware should be considered a “crime”, when you are paying for the software. They damn sure do not need the extra money or kickbacks.
