I have yet to find one that doesn't have the issue. Some of the places to download "free" programs include LOTS of problem files. If you run a top tier anti-virus/malware scan that includes searching for "potentially unwanted programs" you will find you cannot remove the "extra" software without removing the software you actually wanted. Some are better (fewer extra files) than others. Mostly, the malware just spies on you and sends that info home to its creator. I really shouldn't say that all have this issue. There may be some places I haven't tried that don't.

Thanks...just asking as you recommended 7Zip to me with a link to download then to open .rar files...

Thanks.... I have often thought about embird, but didn't know a lot about it. Thanks for your help and knowledge. I knew there would be a cutie out there would could help. :)

Dragonflyer, some time ago, the "free software" websites had a bad reputation for viruses. They worked on it and were clean for a while (I am sure that is when I recommend it to you). Unfortunately, they have not been diligent at all recently. They are no longer consistent enough to say they are OK -- at least not for me. Other Cuties may have had a good experience with the software. However, much like the rest of the internet -- always changing -- the sites now seem to come with a payload...
If you have it on your computer already, just run a scan for "potentially unwanted software" to double check it. If you run into issues, send me a PM. I am in and out for the next week, so the PM would be more readily seen.

No problem with what I downloaded when you gave me the link....and I have run the potentially unwanted software program from my anti-virus programs and nothing comes up...so I am good...just double checking...
