    The "ask" toolbar is already checked when you install it.

    Does this warrant a yellow rating? Heard that the "Ask" toolbar is sorta malware or hosts to malware.

    I'm really sorry for my ignorance.

    whoa

    So this: AC838EC600A11F995CEE1C5A23C81B0023024BDB.exe
    is the setup file? Last time I checked, it was called freestudio.exe No wonder why it was considered malware. Oh well. I will test it myself, which I have not done yet, and see what I can find.

    RISKY!

    It is not malware. It is risky. When I analyzed it, I saw that it would do an activity called process hijacking, which happens when a program writes to another process's virtual memory.

    Process hijacking explained

    Not always is process hijacking a bad thing. However, if the software does process hijacking in a noticeable form, it is bad.

    Process hijacking can be a program that migrates itself or another program to a new process. OR it can write to another process's virtual memory, which is undesirable. Most software that does process hijacking is considered Risky or potentially Unwanted. It seems like their studio was clean, when tested. But, it is a risky software.
