I simply will not buy the line that "we no longer include additional programs with our install files".
The company may be "proud of numerous helpful products" – the software may be great but I will never know – but surely it cannot be proud of its murky business practices. I am surprised that NCH Software is still in business. I was bitten some years ago, and vowed never to have any more dealings with these people.
I came here because I saw yet another report elsewhere that these scumware merchants had stomped all over someone's PC and its file associations. NCH Software will continue to work with our customers to improve the productivity and useability of our products. We are also working to make our products easier to remove from your computer. We have been listening to our customer's comments and we no longer include additional programs with our install files. Many of NCH Software's products, such as VideoPad and Zulu, have been chosen as highest reviewed software in their category. We provide online help through our Support Team, forum, and helpful online resources. NCH Software is proud of our numerous helpful products and are always working to improve our software based on the valuable feedback provided by our users. I'm an IT Support Engineer by trade and am for ever cleaning this kind of stuff off of unsuspecting client's computers. All those links that pop up on the Right Click context menu take some mean hacking of the registry to remove. And removing the software is a headache as installing one tool means the whole system gets polluted with offers and links to the other tools. The tools may do some of what you want them to, but the small print of the Ts and Cs are beyond what anyone would expect. This is in the "scamware" groups of software. i agree it should be at the top of the page not near the bottom, they also charge a lot for limit support that may not resolve any issues you have 81.136.240.238 ( talk) 12:20, 15 April 2014 (UTC) Shouldn't we be discussing the fact that this company in fact produces malicious software that purposefully makes itself incredibly hard to uninstall? Just search for "Extract with Express Zip" and you can find something like this: Norfindel ( talk) 01:21, 29 December 2014 (UTC) I think that the warning should be restored, and probably report the user that removed it, as it seems clear that the company was behind that change. I'm also surprised to read that the article used to have a warning about the software bad behaviour, that has been apparently removed. I have installed the video converter once, and now i notice a context menu in explorer that reads "Extract with Express Zip", from this company, which i had never installed.
