Spysweeper Installing Spyware / Adware
This is the third time this has happen while installing updates for SpySweeper. Before I could uncheck the box to install the AsK toolbar. Now that option is left off.
Luckly for me I am running NOD32 AV and it caught three instances of Spysweeper trying to install Spyware/Adware. You can see from the picture below.
Sad Sad Sad day today.

Bad thing is I am an AR. I sent them a NASTY email. Sunblet Software has been trying to get me for a while now. Might have to talk to them more.

LOL
I jsut installed Spysweeper on a noteboke and notice that the check baox is BACK for you to either agree or disagree for the Ask Bar. The last version did not ahve the check box and tried to install anyway.
So I went online and notice that I have build 122 and now the Latest build has backed up to build 103. Maybe my email and who knows a few others, they decided to back up and try a differetn way
I should send my contact inside another email asking why they are trying to include something in Anti Spyware that is Spyware. Sounds like something that AOL does......

Dang... Never thought I would see that
At least they backed it up and gave the option to not install it, pretty sad though

OMG that looks so odd. I guess they have to build into the code that when you install the new one it doesn't see the higher number as the most recent?
