"Installs ad-ware"
Whether you check the box to not install the Casino software or not, it installs an "installer" program at c:/windows/ConfigSys and does a registry edit that causes an ad to pop up for the casino software about 10 min after you start your computer every time. And their support was very rude in there response to this. Wouldn't recomment this.
