Your software is not bundled with anything else.
Yes it is - it's bundled with the "StartNow Toolbar" or the "Babylon Toolbar" (seems to be luck of the draw, if you call that luck).

Thanks. It is rather overdue for an update though...
It has a license.txt file which contains the terms under which they may distribute it. And I never uploaded my software to any of these sites; they just find & post it themselves.
Thanks. Unlike download.com / softonic.com, Brothersoft's copy seemed clean (once I found the download link that is! I think this site takes that trick to new heights).
BTW, I've never submitted my software to *any* of these (or any other) site - they just find it themselves. The large majority usually just linked back to my site however - or at least they did the last time a checked. That may be a practice that's changing, however...
Thanks.
I just sent the following email to Download.com:
Please be advised that your your "CNET Download.com installer" is in violation of the terms of my software. Section 4a) permits distribution UNMODIFIED copies only. Additionally, section 4c) does not permit "bundling" with other software components.
Please remove my software from your site immediately, as the reputation of my application is now at risk.
Sincerely,

...they aren't bundling Android with their "monopoly" produce of search
If you're browser identifies your O/S as Android (e.g. "User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.0; en-us; Droid Build/ESD20) AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17") they return a highly customized web page, with a strange little tab on the top and specialized little coffee cup & fork and knife icons. They don't customize the page like that for other O/S's, do they?
