Fair enough. It is classified as "potentially unwanted software" by many, so calling it malware was probably wrong. And that was the major issue I had with it

Fair enough. It is classified as "potentially unwanted software" by many, so calling it malware was probably wrong. And that was the major issue I had with it (the fact that it was called malware by the blog post). If that's not the case, then its not nearly as large of a problem than it looked. Thanks for doing the research, you should repost this as a top level comment!
