Useless program. Always scanning for devices and locking up my system.

I appreciate giveawayoftheday’s adding the warning at #1 comment about how the software install’s the toolbar and changes some settings stealthly, however… I see it was posted AFTER I had already installed and found out about things for myself.

Because of that, I’m sorry that I closed the discussion thread I had on my forum about this website. Although its not necessarily GAOTD’s fault that the software offered had adware in it, it does state that GAOTD is adware/spyware-free, so I am just not sure that I can trust linking to a website that offers softwares that can have additional adware type programs that GAOTD cannot warn its users about ahead of time BEFORE they install it.

I really enjoyed GAOTD freebies until this one which wasted my whole weekend trying to remove the stupid tool bar that got installed just because I was forced to miss it atleast using unethical means in view of atleast-today’s conventional behavior of an avg software installing user.

This program works fabulous, it just DOES NOT Burn (CORRECTLY) O.S.’s Like Windows7 RC, it does not burn the .iso correctly, however i have burnt all others without errors with StarBurn V10+ Just so You all know. Don’t burn OS’s to dvd okay? thanks…

I’d love to try it, but it spends forever searching for drives.

Personally I have edited my StarBurn.exe to remove the default http://www.skywebsearch.com/ URL and replaced it with one I trust more. It breaks the files signature but that causes no issues with 32-bit vista so I don’t care. I used XVI32 and performed an unicode text search for the offending string.

While it’s only sensible to check what you’re downloading and installing, many people will assume, quite reasonably, that the ‘Sky Media Pack’ is a part of the software they’re downloading and, thus, they should install it. It didn’t hijack my Firefox – I think running Adblock Plus and NoScript might have had something to do with it – but I uninstalled StarBurn and reinstalled, unchecking the Sky Media Pack option, just in case. Good, simple burning software, but it’s not, as claimed, a DVD authoring package.

I agree about the ‘unexpected bonus’, and I don’t like the way they tried to sneak it in either.
I’ve uninstalled, and won’t be using it.

This software hijacked my homepage in Internet Explorer & Firefox!
It installed an unwanted toolbar in IE & Firefox!
It hijacked my Google Searchbox in Firefox (& IE?)!!!!!
And!!!!! Advanced System Protector detected a Trojan (named something like “Sing.po” trying to install itself into my startup!!!!!
Where did this trojan come from? I think I can guess!!!!!

How do I uninstall the toolbar from Firefox? I have deactivated it but it has no uninstall feature!!!!!

How do I get my Google Searchbox back in Firefox?
