If you don't read the fine print thinking you are already in the custom install and opted out of everything negative you wouldn't want. There is a new dialog box with the foxit logo and label " Install Search Protect recommended by Foxit Reader " with Express or Custom. (note, there is no opt-in or opt-out for Foxit Cloud) You pick your options. It goes straight to the two screen with options for Foxit components and Foxit additional tasks. With the newest version, after the EULA, you do not get the dialog for the toolbar/homepage/search engine change. So, with the old Foxit installed, I let it check for updates, download the latest version, uninstall the old one ( kept on taking screenshots ). Note that in that particular toolbar dialog, it is visually identified that it is a third party add-on with different logo plus a toolbar visually shown and you have three tick boxes making you aware that are going to be three changes. Then a couple more screens that I have always left yes. After that you proceed to the two detailed setup screens for Foxit components and Foxit Additional Tasks. In the first steps after agreeing to the EULA, there is a dialog for Toolbar, Ask search engine and Adk homepage with three checkboxes. I started with my older version of Foxit. To better understand what happened exactly yesterday morning on my primary system with Foxit when I updated it I went ahead and uninstalled the latest Foxit (interestingly it says all components couldn't be removed) and started over, taking screen shots along the way. I had an email discussion with the editor of my favorite download site, prompted by my negative review and calling out of Foxit including Malware (as a warning to other users). Well, Foxit just dropped off the podium and the top 10 list.

Plus, now I have to tell everybody not to update Foxit any longer, then seek another solution, more work that I did not need.įoxit had become the #1 recommendation against Acrobat bloat. So now I have to get my system double checked. It seems there are two uninstallers in Program Features, but guess what, not all files could be removed. I did not authorize the services of "search protect by conduit" to be installed on my system, monitor all my browsers and internet activity, etc. I can't believe Foxit went to the dark side and now comes with malware. even though I declined the changes, every few minutes the same alerts came back.

Did a custom upgrade (no word plugin, no spell check, no in browser preview) and while it was doing its thing, I open another browser and my homepage has changed?! Then I get prompts on my system (thank you Winpatrol) that additional software has been installed, startup program added, some cloud conduit added. Yes, unbelievable, but Foxit now comes with Malware !!!!
