Unchecky was part of a few problem programs on a recent cleanup I did for a client. Serious browser hijacks and "Cannot display webpage" problems until it was removed. Then all was normal.

I now run all downloads thru Virus Total before I put it on my machine. The run it thru 60 of all the well known AV programs. And since I do the download and the checking in one of my Linux virtual machines, I am safe from any manipulations. If Virus Total raises red flags, I trash it.
Here is an example of the Picasa downloader from the Cnet site:
Cnet is one of the most scary sites on the net.
I won't even go there to read articles let alone download something.
I just noticed on mbam site they boast about having a CNet high rating
How can they be so weird to even list anything about CNet being they serve so many with pupware
I imagine even if some dip downloads mbam from CNet
Whs,
If you have an oem that wouldn't work, you couldn't use an oem in a Virtual Machine. The way you did it, you would need to retail licenses of Windows 7. One for the computer itself, the other for virtual machines.
I just discovered how I got the new bug. If updating Mini-wizzard partition magic don't download it from cnet, use Majorgeeks. I really surprised that CBS allows that to go on.
I actually prefer to use my Mint Mate in a virtual machine. It is the safest and malware has no chance.
Yes, CNET is a real malware box. It is rare that a download from them come in clean. Best is to always run everything thru Virus Total. Then you know how the download is.
