I'm sorry you have had such problems with this software.

I have alerted the Forum Manager to pass this on to the Download.com team and do more testing.

May I ask in the meantime, was this malware inside the PDFill Editor software itself, or did you find it in CNET's Secure Installer?

It might help track this down.

Thank you for reporting this, and again, I am sorry you have experienced this problem.

Mark
