oops! THIS SENTENCE: But that would also remove the intended Photo Retoucher program residue on the hard drive, so I uninstalled that too before doing a restore. SHOULD READ: But that would also leave the intended Photo Retoucher program residue on the hard drive, so I uninstalled that too before doing a restore. Hoo boy.

However, as I downloaded the app, it kept showing more apps as though being advertised and didn't exactly state the extra apps would be downloaded and installed. But downloaded and installed they were. When I restarted after the install, it changed my default browser to Bing and gave a large nag screen to buy something And the big view blocking nag screen popped up for EVERY page I opened. I couldn't get rid of it. I uninistalled "(something)Valet", "(something) sales", and "smoky ???? toolbar". That still didn't stop the nag screen, no matter what I did. So that left me with no choice other than to do a "restore" to a point before installation of this mess. But that would also remove the intended Photo Retoucher program residue on the hard drive, so I uninstalled that too before doing a restore. In summary, I uninstalled all four programs that the download installed. Then I went into Safe Mode and did a restore back to the day before installation. Cured everything including nag screen. I've obtained a lot of good programs with "giveaway of the day" and normally don't have this type of problem with them. But this one was a doozy.
