Format Factory is a clean application. You can bypass the stupid ask.com installation.
Download it from a secure site.

I think I've downloaded the format factory from Brothersoft and I scanned it!
It was malware free but I don't understand what is wrong!
Can you please explain to me why it is not good?

I will not use anything with an Ask.com affiliation!  :P

Installers Hall of Shame (Unwanted add-on) from Calendar of Updates.  Although I wonder the list reflects the latest info, it is partially updated here and there and it seems to be correct in general according to my personal experience.

Please read about ask.com and have patience for database lookup:
