I do though think that this website should make it more clear to customers that the software comes with optional adware and that it is perfectly safe as many users may not understand why their spyware scanner is detecting such software such as the user who submitted the post "SPYWARE" and sounded very angry.

Yes i do see your point, there are a few articles on the website, but patchou includes it so he can keep the product free otherwise he would need to either make us pay or get another job and limit work on the program
We do get alot of people complaining about spyware and getting facts wrong all the time, some worse than others and because of this patchou has made it more clear in the installer in the lastest 3.60 versions of the program
Maybe the next step is to make it more clear on the website with a link in the main menu about the sponsor?
