malware.

And neither does the application, which I have used over several version
revisions for about three or four years.

They state quite clearly on their website that it's included in the setup!

Whatever they state on their website, it's clearly *NOT* included in the
setup file hosted by BetaNews.

Look again - you only get WhenU if you download the "bundle setup"
package!

And you also get the opportunity *not* to install the adware when you first
run the installer. But you do have to read this choice to make it. It would
soon become very obvious if it were nevertheless installed.

Sorry for the delay folks ... I'd not realized there was a dist without the
WhenU crap, however (continued inline)

setup!

That's besides the point .... point is, it has no business being there in
the first place. Toolbars (i.e. Irfanview) is one thing - blatant malware is
quite another.
