It is tempting to click “OK” or “YES” to any suggested download, however you should know that many sites use this technique to plant spyware on your computer. Regretfully many free programs on the internet today are bundled with adware and spyware. We hope that in the furture you will follow our advice and download software from trusted sources only.
