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. Well done guys! and THANK YOU! There's a LOT of rubbish out there that causes glitches with other programs, downloads hidden extras that do the same - SUPERAntiSpyware is clean and smooth and just does the job! Again. They seem really professional and proud of their product.

I've made do with the free version for years, but have decided today, after reading the responses the developers have given to others who have left reviews, I'm won over. and there's always a marked difference in PC speed and function straight after I've scanned and rebooted. Tried 'em all and read all their reviews. I'm one for doing a bucket-load of research and have tried a multitude of programs but they all pale in effectiveness and efficiency to this one.

I've used SUPERAntiSpyware for at least 10 years now and I've never found anything remotely as effective.
