Why is it trying to install Chrome Extensions and WinZip?
Why is it trying to install Chrome Extensions and WinZip?
Hi, I was trying to download the latest version of the software, but in the process of installing the application the system was trying to install a new Google Chrome extension (completely unrelated to UltraVNC) and also try to install WinZip. It almost made it seem mandatory in order to install the software. It started to feel like it was malware or spam. Anyone else experience this?

The installer does not install anything, did you downloaded the files from our site ?
Code of the installer is on git

Re: Why is it trying to install Chrome Extensions and WinZip?
I think I realized what's happening. There are so many fake 'download here' buttons that are ads that if you click on the wrong link it starts downloading a bunch of crap. For a site that's trying to promote software that you download, I can't believe how many ads you have for other software links to download that try to make itself appear part of your site.
