[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 769706"] I can talk from experience, where a costumer got his browser hijacked after installing Daemon Tools Free (this was years ago, W7 days). The first assumption was he clicked NEXT all the way and got infected (as always), but after some research and testing, I found out Daemon Tools Free was packing adware with no option to opt-out (setup got from official website). So you just have to be careful with the Software you install. A more recent example is [B]Ace Stream[/B], which actually happened to my cousin. [/QUOTE]
