Visicom Media?s AceFTP 3 Freeware is the easiest-to-use free FTP client
software available for transferring files over the Internet.
Its cool, uncluttered drag-and-drop interface, designed in a Windows XP
fashion, lets you transfer files quickly and efficiently and navigate
with ease between folders, both on Web sites and on your computer.
This robust, free FTP software is a high-speed FTP program. It enables
you to perform multiple file transfers simultaneously. Simply put, it
beats many paid-for FTP client software products hands down

But this 'freeware' program installs a toolbar in IE and it's
installation is mandatory. The toolbar is also integrated with some
ALEXA services, so I guess this freeware should be classified as
Spyware?
I copied the 'VMN Toolbar License Agreement' so others don't have to
download it:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING LICENSE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.
ONCE INSTALLED, THE ?VMN Toolbar(tm)? SOFTWARE PLUGIN (the ?Toolbar?)
WILL AUTOMATICALLY LAUNCH EVERY TIME YOU EXECUTE THE
MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER BROWSER PROGRAM. BEFORE YOU CAN
USE THE TOOLBAR HOWEVER, YOU MUST ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING
AGREEMENT (the ?Agreement?).
If you agree to the following Agreement between you (the user) and
Visicom Media Inc. (?VISICOM?), you will be granted the following
limited rights to install and use the Toolbar:
A. You may use the Toolbar for personal use, on a single computer per
legitimate copy which you download from VISICOM. If you wish to use the
Toolbar for commercial use or if you wish to redistribute the Toolbar to
others, you will require the prior express written authorization of
VISICOM or, alternatively, may do so after using VISICOM?s ?VMN Toolbar
Wizard(tm)? customization service (after duly registering with VISICOM)
and accepting the conditions applicable to that service;
B. You may not otherwise reproduce, distribute, transmit, print or
transfer information related to Toolbar.
VISICOM PRIVACY NOTICE:

COMMUNICATE CERTAIN BASIC USAGE INFORMATION TO VISICOM TO HELP
VISICOM COMPILE GLOBAL STATISTICS CONCERNING USAGE OF THE

not include any personally identifiable

EVEN IF YOU ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, IT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED TO:
A. Modify the Toolbar in part or in its entirety;

SHOULD YOU FAIL TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE, YOUR RIGHT TO

TO USE THE TOOLBAR BY UNINSTALLING AND DESTROYING OR ERASING
ALL COPIES OF THE TOOLBAR UNDER HIS CONTROL.
