   This program does indeed install Relevant Knowledge, even against user concent because I have unchecked the box to install Rev Knowledge and it still proceeds to install it, hence the great pause after the new survey included in the installer on the last few releases. I am ok with toolbars and such, those are easily dealt with but sneaky adware like this is unacceptable.
   
   This program was good to me until it tried to infect me. Here's hoping Filehippo Update Checker will improve.

   I tested the FF sumo using silent option and it doesn't install this software.

   Countering Zoroaster's rating. If you don't want it installed, simple:
   
   1. Decline the Agreement from RelevantKnowledge (yes, it will continue with the install)
   2. Uncheck the option to install RelevantKnowledge in the following pages
   
   Not sure how this'll effect the silent installer, though.

   EDIT, May 13, 2009 :
   
   The version presented for download here by Betanews is version 2.6.0.75, but *without* the RelevantKnowledge option : where did BetaNews find this I have no idea. The 2.6.0.75 version on the SUMo Home download page on the contrary does include this nasty RelevantKnowledge ...

   Well I'll be darned ... 5 stars for BetaNews' SUMo 2.6.0.75, 1 star for the other. Which of the two is to be rated?
