On November 5th, 2009, the free flavor of Nero 9 was “kicked up a notch” and officially offered to end users. But users won’t be able to find the updated links to download Nero 9 Lite Build 9.4.12.708 on Softpedia.

@ HappyPerson: no, there is no way to install Nero "free" without Ask toolbar.
You may use HiJackThis, if you use Internet Explorer to try to remove that vulnerable and privacy risk toolbar.
Or if you use Firefox you may create a new profile

but you must first backup your bookmars and some other data thanks to
Moz Backup

Hope it helps

All that the email thing is that they send you emails for their software. They do not give it to any other vender. I have tested this with other emails that I rarely use and the only email I get is from them and only for promotions.
I have no idea about the promotion though. I own nero and updating is pain. I have to install the trial for the updated version of nero.
Now I know I go to my spot on nero and download and the updated version from my email, but at that time it was a learning process.

Seems strange that they could make you keep a toolbar to use or functionality in nero.
Is there a way for users to opt-out of installing the toolbar? HappyPerson Yes if you get the full Nero and Pay, and un Tick Tool bar,I have to install the trial for the updated version of nero. and Put in the # go to Full in one go or you can add # later.
