Giveaway of the Day Forums » Installation and activation problems

   When I went to install todays A-plus Video Converter it opened my browser to a website called "Feedburner" with the questions asked below. This is the first time I have seen this. Does anyone know, is this something new that GAOTD is now doing? If it is I could just imagine the malware complaints they're going to get now. They already complain about the activating page opening up as malware after installing even though it's a false positive.

   Thanks for replying Scubaguy

   I uninstalled the program and installed a second time for ha ha's to see if it would do it again and it didn't, so maybe I could've hair triggered the mouse button on something to bring me to that page and not realize it. Again thanks.

   I am using RSS feeds to subscribe to giveaway and see what everyday comes up. and to follow forum posts, that I am interested in, via feeds, too.

   also feedburner is a feed service for owners of the site, it seems harmless
