From a long time, i've been observing whenever i install Daemon Tools, an adware is automatically installed on my PC without my permission. Thankfully i can remove these software with Malwarebytes AdwCleaner, but what's even worse is QuickHeal detects it as a Virus?

Take a look HERE

Whether it's technically classed as a virus or not is open to debate, but it does have a "malware" payload included in the installer for sure.

It used to be clean - - not any more.

Do not use any version of Daemon Tools!

(they should rename it "Demon" Tools - lol)
