Well, that's some shady shit. Obviously if it may be unwanted, then it isn't a false positive. And the direct download link nonsense is also suspect.
1. If at all possible, get any program you download directly from the maker of said program. Neuber STM has the install exe, and JUST the program install, right on their webpage. They even have a zip if you want to run it without installing, which is pretty rare. Not necessary to go to CNET. Third parties love to piggyback installations with their bullshit, and while CNET used to be an ok mirror for lots of files, it isn't anymore. They are deceptive.
2. If getting it from a third party is your only option, pay attention to the install options. Check in custom. There's almost always "a great new service" or "quick answers with our new search option!" in the program install that's really just more bullshit; that being said, there's almost always a box that lets you NOT install it.
It isn't just third parties anymore, quite a few free progs we all know and love are loaded with this stuff.
Gotta be cautious out there fellers.

This is weird. The anti-virus/malware programs removed this crap from FF. But did not remove it from IE. I didn't notice because I almost never use IE. But IE is currently unusable by me because it's locked in to that Blekko taskbar, and the programs that removed it from FF don't seem to remove it from IE.

From the BLekko website ...

Follow these instructions to uninstall the blekko Spam Free Search Bar:

1. Look on the right hand side of the toolbar for a wrench icon. Click on that.

2. This brings up a menu. Click on “Help”.

3. In the next menu, click on “Uninstall”.

4. This will bring up the Uninstall Wizard. Follow the steps to uninstall the toolbar.

5. Once the program is uninstalled, the toolbar will be gone, but you will still see blekko when you open your browser because some of your browser settings (such as homepage and default search engine) will have changed as well. Here are instructions for changing those settings back in IE (Internet Explorer), Firefox, and Chrome.

6. Re-open your browser. You might need to reboot your computer as well.

If there is no wrench icon, then the toolbar program might not have installed. Instead, the settings on your browser might have changed.
Here are instructions for changing those settings back in Internet Explorer ... http://help.blekko.com/index.php/i-downl...ange-them-back/ .

If you hate the More Posts boxes, go into <My Stuff> - <Edit Preferences> (it's at the top of the forum above the Google Search) and set one or both of the following options to Yes:



The "Disable see more box on post" controls the top See More Box, the "Disable autoload on bottom page" option controls the bottom see more box.

Be sure to hit the Submit button afterwards.

This will also stop Bulk Image Downloader from loading the "See More" posts.
