I used to use Format Factory all the time, it was a great piece of software.
Today I went to download the most recent version 1.9 and when I tried to install it, it tells me that it is now bundled with a piece of software that will monitor and report my interenet usage. When I decline the install at that point, McAfee comes alive with blocking RKVERIFY.EXE. It is a shame even when you DECLINE an install, the program will already have launched this piece of software.
I will not be recommending or using this software again.

I think the only way around all the former clean software now turning blatant adware is to use older versions and disable the update notifications, or buy clean commercial applications that have absolutely no business including malware.
I realize all those developers would like some compensation since they have to eat an pay bills just like everyone else, but really I think they'd be better off to just turn their programs into commercial apps that must be bought, and possibly offer a features restricted free and clean version without all the bells and whistles.
At least there's this website I've linked to on here before that converts stuff online without installing anything:

Thumbs up bro!!Those are some of the things I have been trying to get rid of. Where can I get 7-Zip and MBAM? seems great. Kindly advice ![:unsure:]()
It also helps to install Universal Extractor to unpack things 7-Zip can't. Note that some antivirus scanners flag Universal Extractor, "maybe a false positive," however Avast and MBAM don't detect anything wrong with it.
Nice program Andavari! Thanks for telling us about it; Universal Extractor is a keeper for me. ![:)]()
