I just thought I'd let you know about a program called Handy Start Menu. I installed this as an offer from GOTD and really liked the program. The bad news was that today I get a popup on my Desktop saying my trial version of Full Uninstall was over and that I have to register and pay for it. Now the problem is I never downloaded or installed that program.
I started checking it out and found it came from the same vendor as Handy Start Menu. To confirm what I was now thinking I used the same software file that I had kept from Handy Menu and did a re-install of the program,sure enough Full Uninstall was back on my computer. While installing no message came up advising me I was also installing the second program. There were no opt-in or opt-out buttons, nor did it even mention the other software. Now this program Full Uninstall doesn't seem harmful but I'm still extremely mad that it was installed the way it was. To me this is Malware and I have written the company and advised them how I felt. Has anyone out there had this problem.

Just a question from me, where did you download the installer? Directly from the webpage of the developer or was it the original GOTD zip-file?
