Description of FlashGet :
Formerly JetCar, FlashGeT accelerates your download speed, allowing your downloads to finish faster than usual. However, it bundles with it the Aureate/Radiate spyware that silently installs a browser plug-in and starts to track your surfing habits. All collected information is then sent to its controlling server, which then feeds back continuous ads to your computer.
Recommendation for FlashGet :
Removal of the bundled adware is strongly recommended.
