For instance, this is what you see if you hover the mouse over the Download Now button on the YouTube Downloader. But it’s not consistent throughout the site.
You’re told a tiny ad supported download manager will be installed.

Interestingly, I found that RegClean Pro is available on and when you hover over the Download Now button, you’ll see the following message: In fairness, the company gives you the choice to opt out of the bundled junkware, but it shouldn’t be so difficult. How much did advertisers pay last year for a 30 second commercial spot during the super bowl? Oh wait, they have ads for that, and the parent company is CBS Broadcasting, Inc. Well, I guess the company does need to pay for the cost of hosting the files on a server that millions of people download from every day. Enough with this already…Hey CNET, 2002 called and it wants its Spyware and Adware back!

Seriously? You’re going to nail me with a third chance to install you’re wonderful crapware? I can’t help but laugh at the fact this “snake-oil” called RegClean Pro claims to increase my computer speed up to 300%!!!! That’s amazing! Almost as amazing as the One Simple Trick we Found on April 1st this year to Fix EVERY Computer Problem Ever!Īfter the third decline, it started installing “something” but I quickly aborted it before anything could finish.

Third Try to Install Worthless Software on my PC If you’re interested, you can check out the Safe Saver EULA and will quickly discover it will do the same thing the Delta Toolbar does. Here’s another offer for Safe Saver – another toolbar, search engine and homepage hijack…sigh…Decline. Second Attempt to Pile Crapware on My Computer It also sends various configuration information to its remote servers and tracks your browsing habits and uses such as URLs visited and such in order for the toolbar to provide advertising. When installed, it will modify the user’s home page and search settings to redirect to. The toolbar is created by a company called Babylon LTD.

So what is the Delta Toolbar anyway? Well, I did some research and immediately the results were full of links to “How to remove the malware app delta toolbar.” This site gave me the best information on it. If you just uncheck the first box ‘Install Delta Toolbar” does NOT uncheck the other hijack items.īut notice, even after unchecking those boxes, it still says “by clicking “Next” you accept the legal terms of Delta Toolbar.” Another important thing to point out here, is you have to uncheck each item from the bottom up. First, I had to make sure an uncheck all options of the Delta crapware. Surely something easy to just install the app right? Not quite. Well, let’s see what the Advanced install presented me with. The Recommended method, of course, would include a Delta Toolbar to make my browsing and searching the internet faster and easier! Oh, and it would also hijack my default search engine, home page, and new tab page…um no thanks! When the installer started, I was presented with the “Recommended” method.
I proceeded to click the “CNET Secure Download Now” button – but I never did get CNET’s installer or “download manager” - whatever they call it. Remain online and double-click the installer to proceed with the actual download.įirst Attempt to Install Malware on My Computer The Download Now link will download a small installer file to your desktop. When I got to the download page, I noticed this CNET Editor’s note letting me know something suspicious was about to happen. I started my test by picking a programs from the “Most Popular Downloads” list: Free YouTube Downloader. I didn’t go as far as allow my system to get infected like Austin did…cheer’s to him for going all the way so you don’t have to!īut I’ll give you a synopsis of my experience of getting hassled to download laughable crap. In the end, it’s all the same, extra junk on your computer that you don’t want, and is detrimental to your system and your privacy. While each term has an “official” definition, let’s not argue semantics. Note: In this article I’m throwing around terms like adware, crapware, spyware, junkware…etc. CNET allows individual installers with bundled crapware through too.
In his article, Austin points out that the installer, wraps a bunch of crapware in it when trying to install certain programs.
