Simplitec / Simplicheck

[tonylondon]

I think it is disgraceful.

In the installation of Designer Pro and Page & Layout Designer you do not need to select a Custom installation in order to opt-out of installing Simplicheck, it has its own step in the installation wizard even on a Standard install, so untick the option on that step if you do not want to install it.

Ah, I wasn't aware that this had been changed, I always chose the custom install after being caught the first time.
Thanks Pete.

they are taking the clue from cnet. Almost impossible to download something from cnet without getting crapware along with it...none of the green "download now" arrows actually down load what you are looking for. Just the crapware.

[gwpriester]

Yeah, you have to try to guess which of the C-NET download buttons is legit. If possible, look for another download source first.

i always try to download from the manufactrrs website
but even thats not possible sometimes

[EARTHPRINTS]

I'm f n pissed about this sneaky little trick!

[angelize]

IMO the ones to complain to about Simplicheck are the ones who made the decision that this should be included with Xara software

Bad business Xara/Magix! You've got a great product and reputation; don't ruin it with bloatware. Grampy Peter
