Alcohol 120% FE has this stupid "Smart File Advisor" adware which can't be unchecked during installation. So I made my own installer with NSIS!

Why the need of an installer? Does it add the virtual drive stuff as well? Otherwise we already have a standalone version (in my sig).

It does add the SPTD virtual drive stuff along with some extra stuff that isn't in the portable version like non-English languages. It's basically a repackaging of the official installer without the adware.

This is so useful, I hate how there is bloatware in A120 so this is very helpful
All hail the almighty PRIUS!!!

THAAAANNNKKK YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's one thing to have potentially unwanted programs as part of your installer, but to have PUPs that you cannot DISABLE or REMOVE just makes me (any anyone else) crazy. Again, thank you!

Why anyone puts up with such bundled malware is beyond me. It aught to be outright illegal.

To monetize it by collecting user info and usage statics. Many freeware phone apps are the same, them enable ad banners, which are well known dangerous things.
