Repackages open-source freeware and adds online web adware installers for their products. The installers are not completely in English because it is difficult to opt-out of the adware offers. No offline installers or portable ad-free version are available. All of their products are closed-source. The installer make suspicious connections when installing their products.

При обновлении uTorrent "напросился" на установку новый архиватор. Считаю, что моё доверие к uTorrent использовано мошеннически. Произошла "скрытая" установка домашней страницы браузера, бар-панели и ещё какой-то фигни... Кроме того, какая-то "левая" переадресация на пиратские кино-сайт. Все эти действия "свободного софта" являются незаконным вторжением в частную жизнь и нарушение её неприкосновенности. Устанавливать программы с этого сайта не рекомендую.

Crapware. They violated GPL in one of their products. And there is no guarantee that in just one.

I'm really getting hacked off at the amount of developers who are beginning to include all manner of rubbish with their installations, this developer is now setting a default for their installers to include a home page change and default search engine change. Rating this site negatively as a result. NOTE TO OTHER DEVELOPERS: Make your add-on software OPT-IN and NOT OPT-OUT!!
