potentially dangerous file in AutoGK instalation pack

[buk]

I found, that library "dae.dll" instaled together with AutoGK is defined as spyware/malware (by saoftware called "a-squared") and also instals Browser Helper Object (BHO). My question is what is the dae.dll like and why is detected as malicious program. I think it is better to make AutoGK without such a potentially dangerous files (e.g. without auto new version of AutoGK checking). I think that AutoGK is fantastic software, but using files as dae.dll should caused problems in the field of computer security. Thanks for your excelent work on Auto GK and for solving this problem. Have a nice day and holidays. buk

if dae.dll is spy/adware, maybe the auto update box should be unchecked by default during the install. I like the feature myself, so i will continue to check it, but to avoid people crying wolf, maybe the installer should have it unchecked.

Yes, of course i unchecked the instalation of auto new version checking. The program DAE wasn´t instaled, but the library "dae.dll" instaled was. It is not very good, I think. So, this is the problem. buk

First, dae.dll has nothing to do with AutoGK's "check for update" capability.
Second, DAE is indeed a BHO-based ad system (sort of like Google's adsense, i.e. its content based). When installed - _very_ rarely it shows ads relevant to the websites you're visiting.
Third, full DAE disclamer can be found at the end of AutoGK's license.
Fourth, DAE can be safely uninstalled from add/remove programs with no traces left.
Fifth, AutoGK will still run without DAE as it doesn't in any way connected to it.
Sixth, yes, I sold my soul to the devil Meaning this is the dark future I promised you a while ago. Its just a way of keeping the project going. If all goes well I'll not only be able to continue developemnt of AutoGK at a good rate, but (as it requires less time these days) also make some improvements to regular GK.
Seventh, system is in testing process and only bundled with beta version of AutoGK so far.
Eighth, it only works within IE (firefox users won't notice it)
Ninth, dae.dll is really the only file installed.
