* WiperSoft Antispyware was developed to remove threats like CNET Download App in automatic mode. Until these variables change (say, if users revolt, or class action suits arise, or $CONGRESS_PERSON complains, or advertising revenue somehow diminishes, etc.), this will sadly keep on happening.Download this advanced removal tool and solve problems with CNET Download App and (download of fix will start immediately):ĭownload WiperSoft Antispyware to remove CNET Download App Companies want to make more money and they have no reason to be 'good.' They gain more than they can lose. People will buy/download from $VENDOR with or without crapware. How can grandma know that the 'monthly anti-virus subscription' popup is 'unwanted'? Do mainstream users care? They buy a new computer (or download an app), and they get the computer or the app, as far as they are concerned. (b) Users are not savvy or discerning enough to notice that they are getting the said crapware. They have a choice between making $X per customer and $X+30 cents. (a) Vendors are looking to make money (simply speaking) and bundling crapware is a low-hanging fruit to do so.

Yes, it disgusts me too, but moral issues aside: This, and preinstalled 'crapware' on newly bought computers/phones happens because vendors have no incentive not to do it, except perhaps out of goodness their heart. Mostly due to Apple's very focused attention on the end-user experience, if not freedom. The Mac world seems slightly better, but it's likewise got some serious conflicts of interest, though there's far less a record of useless OEM bundling (forbidden by Apple) and force / drive-by installs. I've got very strong reasons for believing that the Microsoft Windows applications model is fundamentally and philosophically incompatible with this mode of operation.

You aren't the enemy or product of your software vendor. This is among the key benefits of using Free Software (in the FSF sense). Odds are very good that behavior such as that CBSi / CNET / has exhibited would NOT be tolerated. Software which violates this principle will, at the very least, generate rancorous debate, if not be pulled outright. The social contract clearly states 'Our priorities are our users and free software'. Each of these serves to describe what the Debian Project does, and more importantly, doesn't do. More to the point: if you pick the right distribution, there's at least a stated policy of not doing crap like this.ĭebian has a social contract ( ), a constitution ( ), and a policy ( ). For your case you could probably mandate that distribution of a binary installer with your application name must be your official installer. This only applies to the program itself however, not the installer. If you do modify it, you have to turn off branding, and you get a generic globe icon with the development name. If you take a look at Mozilla Firefox, it can only be branded as such if it hasn't been modified. You can control the branding of your application so only the official bundle can be distributed under your applications's name. Having open source software only means that you have to provide a way to get the source (for example, a download link, or an email address to contact note you don't have to provide the source itself directly). Tl dr of link: C&D bundling of EasyBCD with installers and downloaders or pull the listing.

We will be forwarding this to any and all download sites we find bundling EasyBCD with their intrusive downloaders and installers, as that goes explicitly against the products' licensing agreements, which are there to prevent exactly this type of behavior. I have just sent CNet a 'cease and desist'-ish open letter, which we've also published on our blog. either host the unaltered EXE or pull their listing. Unlike nmap and others, we actually have a legal right to demand that CNet, et.

The benefit of our freeware not being open source is that we retain full control over distribution and packaging. I'm debating whether or not to pull the application listing. I think Softpedia and FileHippo are the only big sites left not doing this ridiculous practice. I just found that my application which was updated last week and is the 10th most popular system utility app on is also being similarly bundled.
