I just think it's ridiculous that I should have to jump through all of those hoops. I understand sandboxing and I keep a VM of every OS around just to install trials into so I can just revert to the pre-install snapshot when mt testing is completed. I did a quick Google search for product reviews and a quick glance suggested the product is a good one. I messed up and that's why I didn't demand a refund.

Hence the "install" was never negated and the author of the main software gets to keep his "kickback" :) Since the "extras" are deleted ,rather than uninstalled ,there's no feedback from the toolbar uninstaller that the toolbar was uninstalled. Then do the real install with the clean setup file. I save the main un-compromised installer and delete the rest from the sandbox.

I install the software in a 'sandbox" including the "extras" , There are a lot of expenses that most people don't even think about.Īlso ,even main software websittes like CNET, ,BrotherSoft and many others ,bundle software ,sometimes even without permission of the author. I totally agree with Terry Whitford and his observations.Īpart from that ,I can see why a lot of small software authors do some bundling with other software, whether it's freeware or shareware.It's providing them with a little bit of extra revenue.īeing a small developer is not a road to "easy street".
