eL_PuSHeR Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hello. If you download the executable version (both x86 and x64 versions included), read carefully what it's displayed in the installation windows. Check carefully every tickmark out there. It attempts to install ask toolbar alongside another similar crapware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted February 9, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 9, 2013 good catch. Thanks ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

nikki605 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 ASK seems to be bundled with a lot of freeware these days. Gotta pay the bills somehow, I guess. Win10 Pro x64 Desktop (Speccy) - Win10 Pro x64 Laptop (Speccy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted February 12, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 12, 2013 Wish someone would "ask" allot of developers to not use Ask. Nefarious rubbish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted February 12, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 12, 2013 This is par for the course these days isn't it. As long as you get an upfront option to decline these "offers", then all's good. (I'm sure I've said that in another thread recently). As eL_P suggests, it's all important to watch every install carefully, and it's also worth leaving a couple of seconds between each click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Keatah Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Some installers require an internet connection to download the spam. Without it you cannot continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL_PuSHeR Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Even if you deselect all crapware it still will create the two following registry entries (easily removed by Xplode's Adware cleaner): HKCU\Software\APN PIP HKLM\Software\PIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
