Search Settings plugin installed w/o users knowledge along with Yahoo search

No matter what you do in the installation this software will attempt to replace your search to yahoo. This could be an oversight on the programmers behalf so I wont get on you too much about it, however...

After installing this product, urlseek20.vmn.net showed up in my browser hooks. Any programmer care to explain this one, installing a search plugin in the background without the users knowledge is inconceivable and is by definition MALWARE! I monitor my computer very closely since I am also a software developer. I am in the process of removing this.

I would really like to see an explanation here... until it its fixed I will not be using this product and will discourage others from using it as well.

I have a feeling this is going to be ignored, enjoy the bump.

Deactivate the PDFCreator Browser AddOn during the setup.

I can say in some of the installs i have done i unchecked the box to install the addon and it was still installed..

I then go in after the fact and turn it off.
