All I could do was double click the web installer, let it download files and then click next. IIRC, the installer launches a separate setup for the crapware, but you can simply click cancel and proceed with the installation. So, even though I was using the old installation software which I'd not had a problem with previously, it was sending out to the JD website to download 'something else'. There is no opt out function, it's straight up malware. ![]() Thought I'd be clever and use the installer exe file that I still had on my old laptop from a couple of years ago which Norton said was completely safe.īUT.I immediately got a Norton warning that it had blocked JD from trying to install a Trojan, and that there had been' suspicious outgoing traffic'. Reloaded all software one-by-one until it became obvious that JD was the problem. ![]() Tried everything to get rid of it - in the end, I did a factory reset on my laptop. Got a new laptop, carefully loaded latest version of JD and it introduced malware ('Search Know Ads', and kept switching my homepage to Yahoo). I've used JDownloader for years without a problem. ![]() Just loading an older version didn't work for me.
