Don't be fooled by the TRUSTe Seal. This site requires you to download InstallQ which in itself isn't a worm/virus/Trojan so can get this seal. It's what InstallQ does that is bad. Very very bad. If you are curious about seeing what these things actually do, or how they may effect your system, create a virtual windows 7. SUN offers a great working and free virtual system called Virtual Box. Create a new system, backup the new system, browse to this site or any other site you want to test using your fresh new virtual windows 7, download said software, watch your virtual system get trashed, delete it, copy backed up system over the trashed system and you are ready to test another site. ;) This may be a little much for a lot of people but I personally like to see what those garbage peeps are doing. Have a nice day and be safe!

Largest pusher of Adware and Spyware products. Fools consumers during the installation process by making them press Next on 5 advertiser windows. End user installs software without being aware of the abuse from the software they just installed that will soon follow. - ***** partners with W3i. Very disappointed with that ***** interacts with companies dealing in spyware/malware and products that neglect user privacy.
