Daemon Tools has spyware

[jpcline004]

This is like 2 years old so it might be old news to you all. I just found out, but I searched and didn't see it posted here.

The newer releases of Daemon Tools apparently has some sort of adware or spyware built in. You use the old version, or if you need the latest version you can follow these steps to remove it/avoid installing it.

It's not spyware.. It's adware and it is optional during the install process.
They don't sneak anything onto your system, and its there to help support the development of the software.
