This is sickening. Go commercial rather than go evil.
WhenU is spyware, the 'problem" with the Antispyware software is that they are RIGHT and this toolbar is spyware.
It has been proven that WhenU violates their privacy policies with impunity, so no matter what they claim their privacy policy will be, they will simply ignore it anyway.
I can't believe that otherwise good programmers would be so desperate for a buck that they would resort to this level, and violate their users in such a fashion.
If you couldn't do it for free or with donations anymore, then you should have simply gone commercial and not shoved spyware down the throat of your users.
As soon as I figure out a way to reverse engineer your installer, and remove the spyware bar from the install process, I will make sure it gets wide circulation. This will hopefully protect those users not savvy enough to understand how to install and use your software without contributing to an evil company's revenue and letting WhenU negatively impact their computers.
