I'm always a little disappointed when unrelated and possibly unwanted applications try to piggy-back the installation of other software (i.e. Yahoo's Toolbar coming pre-checked with AWC as my most recent experience), but I understand the prerogatives of the providers and the economics behind freeware and advertising. What was disappointing when upgrading to AWC 2.81 is that I deselected Yahoo's ToolBar when it was offered and it installed anyway. So I went to I.E. Add-on management and disabled the two related entries. Even so "yt.dll" still tries an install once every minute or so, a nuisance I will get the better of even if I have to uninstall AdvancedWindows Care as a by-product. I just wish we could choose the piggy-backs (let them be offered, but designed such that they have to be checked so that no one is caught unaware). It should go without saying that when I decline by deselecting (removing the check mark) that my preference to not have a tag-along installed should be honored. I can't imagine any end-user having a quarrel with that, and it's something I think designers should go along with so as not to compromise our collective trust. Thanks for letting me sound off. Dean
