Idle crawler does get installed with other programs when the user himself accepts the agreement to install Idle Crawler along with other program. However Idle Crawler has been useful and shows the potential of a  great marketing tool, therefore it is not fair to treat it as a PUP by the users who don't use it. Our point is to listen to people and make idle crawler a better place through compliments and complaints.

Well, right now. The people here, do not care for Idle Crawler.

It can as useful as food, or as poop. Doesn't make a difference.

You of all people should know (As a marketer), very few actually read the EULA. Is there ANY option at all to have a "Don't Install Idle Crawler" button?

Can you post me an active download of a program with Idle Crawler so I may check it out?

Edit: Why would a google search, show all Idle results as either, PUP, Adware or a threat?
