Hi Peter,
I seem to recall that some years back there was some major issue with Glary Utilities, or something they did that got me to a “Don’t Go There” decision . . . but I can’t recall the details just now, and would have to dig deep to backtrace whatever it was. That’s the thing: one bad choice or bad behavior from a company or product — even temporarily — can stick in the back of your mind for quite some time. (Meanwhile, I became a longtime user of the somewhat parallel Win Utilities Pro, which I found to be quite good and which also gets offered here periodically.) Perhaps your memory is better on this score. Then again, things change — as with your mentioning that Ant Downloader had cleaned up it’s act considerably and was no longer so widely intrusive when its services were not even being called upon. That left me willing to give them another shot, the next time they turn up here.
