After that you proceed to the two detailed setup screens for Foxit components and Foxit Additional Tasks. In the first steps after agreeing to the EULA, there is a dialog for Toolbar, Ask search engine and Adk homepage with three checkboxes. I started with my older version of Foxit. To better understand what happened exactly yesterday morning on my primary system with Foxit when I updated it I went ahead and uninstalled the latest Foxit (interestingly it says all components couldn't be removed) and started over, taking screen shots along the way. I had an email discussion with the editor of my favorite download site, prompted by my negative review and calling out of Foxit including Malware (as a warning to other users). Well, Foxit just dropped off the podium and the top 10 list. Plus, now I have to tell everybody not to update Foxit any longer, then seek another solution, more work that I did not need.įoxit had become the #1 recommendation against Acrobat bloat. So now I have to get my system double checked. It seems there are two uninstallers in Program Features, but guess what, not all files could be removed. I did not authorize the services of "search protect by conduit" to be installed on my system, monitor all my browsers and internet activity, etc. I can't believe Foxit went to the dark side and now comes with malware. even though I declined the changes, every few minutes the same alerts came back. Did a custom upgrade (no word plugin, no spell check, no in browser preview) and while it was doing its thing, I open another browser and my homepage has changed?! Then I get prompts on my system (thank you Winpatrol) that additional software has been installed, startup program added, some cloud conduit added.
Yes, unbelievable, but Foxit now comes with Malware !!!!
