Format Factory installs Ask toolbar

[ranchhand]

The latest Format Factory installs Ask toolbar and changes the home webpage to Ask search page with no warning or opt-out. It is easy to remove, but just a heads-up.

You sure it doesn't give an opt-out using a "custom" install? That's the way lots work these days (like ImgBurn, Avast...).

Nope. No opt-out choice, no custom or advanced install and no warning that it will install Ask. By the way, after it is removed in Add/Remove Programs, it is necessary to enter Program Files and manually remove the folder, otherwise it will continue to boot loaders. I ran Hijack This and found four more loaders, 3 of them BHOs after I uninstalled the program. Bad form and bad manners.
