I DON"T WANT YOUR FRIGGING POS PROGRAM, NEVER ASKED FOR IT, AND TOTALLY RESENT THAT YOU ARE FORCING ME TO DOWNLOAD SOMETHING I DON'T WANT TO USE! REMOVE THIS REQUEST FOR ME TO DL, BBB REPORT, OR LAWSUIT FOR ATTEMPTED HIJACKING OF MY DOWNLOADS THROUGH YOUR APP... YOUR CHOICE!

Rachel Samuels (ID: 000000c89afc5f28) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/14/2018 Avoid adding this to your browser. It interfered with my virus software Webroot. Webroot notified me this extension probably stole my passwords, browsing history, and other personal data. User beware and bypass this extension. It would really truly suck if you were its next victim.
