Glary Utilities 5.63 FORCES Malware Hunter Install. Just tried updating & the "I accept" part says to installing Malware Hunter. So I downloaded 5.63 Portable & there's no Malware Hunter thank goodness. Sleazy move on GlarySoft's part.
The installer I had had no such option. If I didn't keep it clicked the NEXT BUTTON was greyed out & unselectable.
I downloaded the newest verson 5.63 and i see that the next button is selectable too. In both cases: a fresh install and upgrading an older already installed version. But to be forced to install Malware Hunter, that's not nice
Wise products also "recommend" SpyHunter. If you are clicking on Next, you can miss it, but it also sounds confusing, like do you want to accept installing Wise product or SpyHunter? X to close does not work either. I guess free does not pay off as much as it used to.
You have to be careful nowadays with all these bundled stuff in the installer-files. Unselecting unwanted features, carefully reading all displayed textpages (grey text with a grey background and a 2-pixel font ), does "Accept" means installing the real product or installing the bundled software, etc.
I'm sure the I AGREE box was greyed out & unselectable without agreeing to install MH. Playing around I selected the I AGREE box & the next or install box was selectable. I think they quickly changed & replaced the installer I had downloaded. I did not keep it though. Whether innocent or not other companies have switched out installers like this.
