THIS FREEWARE IS A VIRUS!!!!!!!!!!!
It forces you to install several irrelevant softwares and manipulates your browser homepage configuration as well as default search engine into some crappy website!!!!! It has taken me hours to remove all of the spywares and damages, which are left by this freeware.
I strongly recommend free-codecs.com to remove this software from your website!!!
