Unlocker punishes you for not installing toolbar.
tomos:
Still no updates on Lockhunter since April 2009
So... how beta/stable is LockHunter? They do at least have a x64 version I see (Yeah!).

Probably too soon for me to say (I just installed 64 bit version today on win7) - but it has already worked successfully for me anyways ;-)

Hay one out of one is as good a place to start as any. At the rate I'm going I might actually get one or the other installed by next January.

I must have missed this punishment, as I do not recall it ever being a problem, and I have used Unlocker for ages.
There had been a longstanding and recurring problem with a Yabector "eBay trojan/worm" in the install file though - as MS Security Essentials used to call it.
But it all seems to have been cleaned up for my last version: Unlocker1.9.1-x64.exe
A very useful proggy, IMHO.

I'm not sure where in the world you are, but according to scancode, it only "punishes" you if you live in USA or GBR.
Update: after a little REing, I found it uses GetLocaleInfoA to detect if you're in GBR or USA and if so installs the bing bar, doing a 30 sec countdown with the delay.dll NSIS plugin, if not, just offers QuickStores with no delay whatsoever.
Grr.

Or you may be right, and the software author may have removed the punishment in the latest version.
IainB:
@Deozaan: OIC. Well then, I live in Australasia, so I guess that's why I never saw it on the install.
