Limitations: This program is advertising supported and may offer to install third party programs that are not required for the program to run. These may include a toolbar, changing your homepage, default search engine or other third party programs. Please watch the installation carefully to opt out.

Editor's Note: This program has gotten pretty sleazy. Be sure to choose custom installation to avoid numerous add-on including (for some reason) Reg Organizer and Babylon which will also want to change your default search, homepage and add a toolbar. Yuck.
