New Super Mario Forever 2012 vs. Conduit?!

According Chris Page from CNET, you guys can review the following info:
During installation, this game will try to change your homepage and search to Bing.
Make sure you opt out of that if you don't want it. The game takes a while to install and displays an error unless you run it as an administrator. Even if you're logged in as the administrator account, it makes you right-click and choose "Run as administrator." The game does play smoothly once you've finally set it up. It even runs with premier graphics and sound on computers with older processors. If you didn't know any better, you'd believe New Super Mario Forever 2012 was made by Nintendo. The only unprofessional elements are the frequent instances of broken English. ...
Now, I start my own foistware infection...
  1. Verify publisher: Conduit Ltd.
  2. "Softendo offers exciting games..."
  3. "As part of the software installation, you can also get Search Protect. ... set home page and default search to Trovi Search..."
  4. "Optimum PC Boost: Built by a Microsoft Partner Gold Application Development Team..."
  5. "MyPC Backup will automatically backup all your files..."
This piece of VERY badly written software is an absolutely horrid mess. Stay away from this. It will not only attempt to install/change your search engine settings (that is a trojan) it will also install other processes and back door to your system.
forget this, just don't download. it is full of 3rd party software.this is crap full of lags bad ui and bad animation.
This game is terrible, Its controls like garbage its worthless and absolutely ad infested! I cannot believe the comments it got considering how much it sucked the "one person' who made it should stick to his day job because screwing around with others copyrighted material and absolutely diminishing it's integrity with this garbage of garbage ware. The coder or whatever should be highly ashamed of how terrible this creation is that he let open to the public. Garbage!
