They are bundling in the Ask toolbar, a known piece of malware/spyware. See: http://www.benedelman.org/spyware/ask-toolbars/ http://www.benedelman.org/spyware/ask-toolbars/ Whenever you see the word "toolbar," just think "virus," because that's pretty much what they amount to.

(#2) An organization claiming to be for "open source" should not be distributing KNOWN malware, by ANY means. PERIOD. I have one major project on SourceForge that is pretty much inactive. If I ever do the rewrite of it I'm thinking of, that new code will not be hosted there. It'll probably be on GitHub.
