I suggest you try the PortableApps.com version, or there should be a way to uncheck it in the installer.
I must say I am extremely disappointed though.
While the program should work as well as it ever did, I cannot in good faith condone supporting such garbage.  |
When I previously installed FFS, I did not get hit with Trovi nor this optimizer that you have to install.
I just had a look at the two different install files for FFS 6.12 and they are different sizes. The one I downloaded today is larger then the one I downloaded December 1, 2014. So they did ad this crapware to the installer. That means that if there is a new version, it'll install crap. It's time to find a different program since FFS is now off the list.
