Virus in daemon?

[grenz]

Come on.

LocutusofBorg, I think the real question and issue here is why is there adware in this software?

I understand any right reserved to advertise but there is no need to do this using adware.

That is the point being made.

There is no adware in the product. the installer however gives the possibility to install the Searchbar to support the DT team.

If you don't wan't to give your support then just untick the searchbar. It is not DT's fault that people do not read the installment steps in the installer.

It's NOT a virus, it's adware.
If you don't want it, just disable Daemon Tools Search Bar installation checkbox in installation dialog.
We've also an own forum for this, so I moved your thread here.
