So I installed CutePDF on a home computer today by downloading the latest version from their website.
During the install I noticed it prompted to install a toolbar. I unselected the options telling it not to.
It still installed the toolbar! Very annoying for me and the laptop user who hates it.
Maybe I'll take an open source alternative and modify it to use the standard Windows OS save dialog and without the annoying toolbar install.

I've installed CutePDF at least 20 times (as recently as last week), and that has never happened to me. I uncheck the boxes, and it doesn't install the toolbar.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.

The toolbar can easily be uninstalled using the regular method for any installed program. While it *IS* rather annoying to have to take extra steps to remove it, I'm not sure it's that big of an issue.

I can't speak to how our channel partners choose to bundle and position the install options for our toolbar, but I can definitely speak to its removal. We publish all the removal steps at this link:
