Hey dude! How's life?

Today when operate with Cheque Writer software, it prompts for a version update (v10.8). So I download and update it accordingly. However, it comes with two additional software (RegClean Pro and ShopSave Toolbar) and I accidentially click the "Agree" button to install them too. Then, Symantec prompts up about virus infection.... :sick:

Please check and thanks!

Hi Maguyver, the software installed are bundled with Cheque Writer, but they are clean. Antivirus software tend to treat bundled software as suspicious. You may remove the installed bundled software if you don't really need it though.

I'm afraid the bundled software is actually a malware...
Although I uninstall those bundled software afterwards, my Google Chrome still infected and keeps pop-up ads. I eventually have to run AdwCleaner to remove it (found 2 services leads to the problem, that's why no use even uninstall the program).

Besides, one question that is there any way to retain the original Payee database when I update the program?

Oh! Just located the post about moving Payee data. Please neglect my previous question. Many thanks!

Haha, great! But just FYI, if you update the program directly on the same computer, the existing data will automatically be detected ^o^

Maybe a paid version of your program without the bundle? The bundled programs created MANY annoying pop-ups. It took me some time to delete the bundled programs and I am quite wary about upgrading to version 11.0.

Anyway, Chrome is blocking the download now.

Can I opt out of the bundled programs during installation for version 11.0?
