   It was taken down... probably because it contained a trojan third party software offer.

   Also note:

   The trojan in today's giveaway is not related to the new Software Informer client that comes with all giveaways now. The Software Informer client is clean (I know by personal experience and the fact that GOTD said so) but it is still annoying.

   Hi all,I have been using software Informer for about 2 months maybe longer now and find It very helpful at finding updates for my more obscure programs just remember not to update everything It tells you for example freebies from this site,99% will revert back to trail If you update them with the odd exception like online armour.I got software Informer from advanced system care,Its on of the options In the program now,and my antivirus never complained about It then or now,so hopefully todays offering will be open for business soon.Got to go to work now so will have to wait till later to find out what happens,Good-day from a very wet and miserable north-west England.

   I, too, saw it up, briefly, and then it was gone, with only previous giveaways showing. It's probably just a technical difficulty, though, and will be back up asap. :)

   Please don't jump to conclusions...
   Only 2 out 42 scan engines were positive.

   But there was an opt out for a not wanted( maybe questionable,when I read the EULA) seek service toolbar.
   As people are very sensitive about those kinda things nowadays, this should have been an opt in
   From my point of view there shouldn't have been a third party toolbar option at all.

   Streaming Video does what it claims though and is a nice giveaway.

   Thanks, Robert, for this clarification!

   Dear Visitors! We’ve updated Giveaway package (no more Seek Seeker installation). Please try to re-download (StreamingVideoRecorder_upd.zip) the archive and install the program. Sorry for this inconvenience. Giveaway of the Day project team. Comment by Giveaway of the Day project team — August 18th, 2009 at 5:29 am

   I think I can close this topic.
