Warning on Bits du Jour

I know that some of us monitor BdJ for PIM bargains, and thus this warning.

Very recently, I downloaded an offering. After virus testing it, I began to install it. Kaspersky Internet Security warned me that the setup program was trying to install a hidden file whose activity could not be monitored by anti-malware software. (Luckily, I had not yet paid.)

I sent a comment about this to BdJ, but the comment was not posted, nor was it replied to. In the past, BdJ posted comments, both positive and negative. It appears that it has changed this policy.
