Hi all
Had a threat this morning, when I downloaded FreeSoundRecorder.exe the program attempted to instal ZWUNZI.exe... which after removing from control panel and googling, I understand to ad/mal-ware. I did not allow access to the internet via my ZoneAlarm firewall and removed both programs immediately so I am safe, but just giving a heads up
cheers

Free Sound Recorder is available from http://www.freesoundrecorder.net/

Its installer does offer the user the choice whether to install ZwUnZi or not, with a very clear explanation of what the ZwUnZi browser plugin is and does. To install Free Sound Recorder without ZwUuZi, simply leave the ZwUnZi "I accept" box un-checked and click "Continue." Then Free Sound Recorder will install without ZwUnZi

You can also try the ZwUnZi "search engine" as a stand-alone web application here: http://www.zwunzi.com/ It seems to present only paid ads and is nowhere as good as Google.

Many thanks Rich,

This allows me to investigate further and confirm no need to add ZWUNZI the MBAM database :blush:
