Orbit Downloader - Adware Warning

Just to point out, you should be aware that 4.x versions of Orbit Downloader may install "adware" or other unwanted softwares.

(From Softpedia.com)
Reasons why this program is marked as ad-supported:

· Offers to change the homepage for web browsers installed on the system.
· Offers to download or install software or components (Grab Pro) that the program does not require to fully function


And then there is, "# Orbit downloader 4.0 Introduce Software Updater".

So be aware of what you select/deselect during installation.
