Did it give you the option to deselect it during installation? If not, can you give us an example?

Agree entirely, I have let gremlins into my machines in the past...

Anything you fancy (and are directed to softonic), instead go to sourceforge.com and look for it there - usually is (unless it is crap). AA

You are so right there - happend within 1 year from they. Better a GLOBAL WARNING is the best.

just downloaded vlc,skype and gom player from there. File size and hash are the same. I assume you mean the SoftincDownloader ? Thats similar to the one you get on cnet? The solution than is simple! click on the proper link ! (No , it is not the big download now button )

Interesting comments. I think I have downloaded from them in the past with no problem. And here is what I see today.

Never heard of Softonic ?, do all my downloading from Softpedia,

Snapfiles,FileHippo, no problems at all, but you do have to be careful

as lots of products do try to get toolbars,Chrome,Ect past you when

installing ,just take it slow and read everything.

Same as the geordie always use Filehippo, don't want too much stuff on my computer, and the things I do need are always on filehippo.

I suspect PEBKAC here.
