Giveaway of the Day is an interesting site and sometimes they offer some decent programs for free.
However, there is always a catch, they make a run at include crapware during the app install.
We’ll show you how to avoid the extra junk during the install process.
The first thing they make a run at install is Software Informer.
The problem is that it doesn’t do a very good job and gives several false positives about updates.
Another interesting thing I found is that it is a Beta version of the program.
The other thing you may not want is the GOTD site added to your bookmarks.
This option is checked by default, so ensure to uncheck the boxes if you don’t want them.
Notice there is another attempt to install Software Informer here as well.
ConclusionWe’re not anti-GOTD as they sometimes have quality free commercial software.
Just be careful not to roll out the extra junk if you don’t want it.
You will be offered Software Informer and the bookmarks every time you download something from them.
