Software Installer Scam..

You're surfing the net, looking for that piece of software that promises to change your life. You click on the link & download the installer..

You run the downloaded "setup.exe" file. This seems to be a Generic effort with no indication as to what it is exactly you are trying to install, with only an Accept & a Decline button.

You click on the accept, and a list of Spyware induced browser bars & add-ons are installed without your consent.  And it does not matter whether you say Yey or Nay, the installer will chug along nicely, making sure that every corner of your PC is infested with stuff that you do not want, need or know about...













I tried to run one of those dubious installers in a "Sand Box" in order to see what I would get

I tried to download small USB Flash Formatter - Less than 1MB in size...  And I ended up installing over 56MB of Spyware and junk, using this "Optimum Installer", and the best thing is that; the original Piece of software that I was after, was never downloaded or installed. What a BIG PIECE OF CRAP...

Please avoid all installers that ask you to install additional software, browser search engines, browser helpers, browser bars, registry cleaners, super offer junkifiers (whatever that means), etc... You don't need those and they will only slow your PC down and annoy you to no end...

  1. I have been involved in franchising dozens of businesses, at last count over 60. Some from concept and some where we converted an existing business to the franchised model and I am really happy to deal with either pathway with one really important proviso. The business owner must have a reasonable understanding on what it takes to run a business successfully - franchised or not. https://1cad.cheapsoftwaredownload.net/autocad-map-3d.html

  2. Adobe Photoshop is the modern standard in digital photography. Now, even amateur photographers can very well produce outputs that can be appropriately compared to those taken by professionals. The Adobe Photoshop is a post-production imaging tool that would surely help do the trick. keyshot 8 discount code
