The 7zip stuff is not nonsense. Right click on it select 7zip, extract, and low and behold no more junk in program..

This product installs 3rd party programs on your computer, without your consent.
There is no way to turn it off, there are no options and this nonsense about 7zip is exactly that, nonsense.
It is very poor form to install programs on a users computer without their consent.
I will actively post on the internet in the future in opposition of this software, whenever I see anyone asking about codecs.
You should know better, you are just creating a name for yourself that is coiled in hatred and irritation, and you are creating an army of individuals who will do nothing but deride your software at every opportunity. I am now going to email MajorGeeks asking them to remove your software from their site, as it is damaging their good reputation.
Bundle your rubbish software by all means, but give me the option to say to no.

Then I guess VideoHelp and other sites which distribute these installers should add a big fat link links to that thread. Otherwise, most people won't know about it.
Shark007 also need to add that information to their site, too. (Will they? I doubt about it!)

As mentioned in previous comments, there is a support forum for this software, which is where I learned the 7Zip trick - http://shark007.net/forum/Thread-malware-in?highlight=7zip

It's not that the difficulty is the problem. The problem is that other than your comments here, is there anywhere tell people to extract the provided installer to get the installer that doesn't install adwares? So most people don't know about that. Do you ever think about that before you blindly defend this codec packs? Also, yeah, this is NOT the only "excellent and free" codec packs out there. Anyway, the problem have nothing to do with me, because I don't use codec packs.
