ebay stuff
Hello. I liked FreeComander, however I've just stopped the installation of current version after seen it includes eboy bullshit, spyware or else.
I've had a bad experience in the past with other freebie. It included a third partie spyware disguised as adware incrusted in the program code. At install time the user opt-out and the installer create a registry entry. The executable checked it and if present did his tasks. But if absent, then too deployed the spyware executable and launched it. This used virii techniques to autoreproduce, launch at system startup and connect to internet.
Is obvious that this scheme acted as a time bomb. I don't remember exactly if after system crash or else, but a day a nasty little window appeared promising that in few days I will be happier, younger, richer and two nice girls will be beside doing me caresses.
My question is: Is the ebuy stuff or portions of it incrusted in the FreeComander executable?
