Warning: Before installing todays giveaway, be warned that it comes with an unexpected “bonus”.

If you accept the default options during installation you will get a toolbar (called Star Search).

While I am not against developers making money - I would hope that they do it through increased sales because their product is good, not because they sneak a toolbar into their install and disguise it’s presence by giving it an obscure name.

Then when the user notices that their browser has been screwed with and asks why did you install this stuff - they respond “Because you don’t unselect check box Install SkyMediaPack on StarBurn installation page:”. That’s right… it’s YOUR FAULT.

So make sure you follow the installation instructions in the StarBurn forums if you don’t want to have your browser settings changed and a new parasite toolbar added to your system.

Don’t install “SkyMediaPack” (which is a code word for “change home page and install unwanted toolbar). It’s one thing to ‘read instructions’ it’s another to ‘invent a name’ and provide no further information as to whether it is an unwanted optional extra - or a useful part of the product.

A description explaining what was being installed (including the words “optional toolbar” and “replace default seach engine”) would be appreciated by many users who didn’t intuitively know what “SkyMediaPack” was. The choice to install SkyMediaPack should be opt-in and not set to install by default.

RocketDivision - the first impression a potential customer has of your product and company is your Install process. How did you rate?

As an example of someone who does something similar but in a 100% better way by actually letting the user make an informed decision:-
