Thanks for your reply, LIGHTNING UK!. Perfectly reasonable for you to get some income for your excellent program via Adwords. I do feel the page layout is sort of a trap - but still, as long as the ad DOWNLOAD buttons are clearly labeled 'Advertisement' then caveat emptor. There was a report that the ImgBurn installer had bundled Ask toolbar without an opt out. I find that not to be the case. The installer that I downloaded today via ImgBurn Mirror 7 and via Softpedia doesn't seem to actually install the Ask toolbar, although it does create one unwanted key: HKCU\Software\Ask.com.tmp There is no entry for Ask in Control Panel > Uninstall People don't want extra keys added to their Registry, but on the whole this may be a case of much ado about virtually nothing. cnm
