Please advise what i need to do.

Many thanks

If you want to use Daemon Tools then you have to be careful during installation. The download page for it had the below limitations notice:

Limitations:
This program is advertising supported and may offer to install third party programs that are not required for the program to run. These may include a toolbar, changing your homepage, default search engine or other third party programs. Please watch the installation carefully to opt out. For more information:

Ok
I did see the messages and thought that i had removed all the ticks etc.
I have now removed Daemon Tools & running MB again.
I will then try it again and check it a bit better.

Okay but the scan snapshot you showed is of the file you downloaded. It will still be detected because Daemon Tools is supported by 3rd party junkware.

Going straight to there site you can buy a license without junk adverts etc for less than £3
So this is what i have done.
So far looks fine.

Thanks
