"A very difficult installation process"
Version: CutePDF Writer 3.0
Pros
How will I know the pros, if I were not able to download it.
Cons
Believe me; I was not able to install the product properly. At first I thought, it may be the mistake from my side, perhaps, my laptop's operating system version was not up to the required level, but it was funny, they said windows 7 was accepted, and yet I found it extremely difficult to complete the installation.
Summary
I personally think that the product designer should simplify the downloading process to make product desirable.

"VIRUSES VIRUSES VIRUSES VIRUSES VIRUSES VIRUSES"
Version: CutePDF Writer 3.0
Pros
NONE it is going to download taskbars and other software without your consent, then stop windows explorer from working so you can not access uninstall etc. It will not install the desired software, though, but as you wait for it to do so it will begin downloading other malware etc onto your computer. Bad virus, do not download!
Cons
WILL STOP WINDOWS EXPLORER FROM WORKING, YOU WILL NEED TO OPEN COMPUTER IN SAFEMODE AND DO A SYSTEM RESTORE FROM A PRIOR BACKUP DATE. Even if you do not believe it downloaded / installed properly, you should do this anyways, search for any new taskbars as well as "wajam" and "Iminent news", these are apart of the bad program.
Summary
GET THIS OFF CNET IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!

"Read this before any of the negative reviews."
Version: CutePDF Writer 3.0
Pros
everythong
Cons
none that I have found
Summary
do not believe the negative reviews here. There is NO virus and if you don't want the bloatware that people are complaining about then carefully read all the pages that come up during the instillation. Most of the Cnet downloads come with bloatware now but if you pay attention during the instillation process you will not get any of it.

"I would give 0 star if possible for this post"
Version: CutePDF Writer 3.0
Pros
CutePDF writer is great, but NOT THIS POST
Cons
I'm very disappointed to find that, after clicking on several "download" buttons (which are actually advertisement but not obvious to see), I downloaded the one saying "CNET installer enabled", but all it did was closing all my opened browsers and installing a bunch of trash on my PC and browsers absolutely without asking my permission!
Summary
Find another source to download CutePDF

"Program doesnt install, dumps trash on my computer"
Version: CutePDF Writer 3.0
Pros
none- didnt install program
Cons
After installation was supposedly complete, changed my explorer homepage, left trash toolbars, and I had popup ads in windows until I restarted my PC.
Program didnt even install. Only thing it left in my start menu was an internet link to 'try cutePDF editor free'Summary
I used a previous version of CutePDF several months ago and it worked just fine, but their upgrade doesnt work and comes loaded with trashware

"Installs Conduit junkware"
Version: CutePDF Writer 3.0
Pros
Have no clue how good this works, wanted me to visit another site to download more software to make it functional after they already installed at least 4 Conduit junkware programs as well as changing my home page without explicit consent so I immediately ripped it off of my system.
Cons
Installs Conduit junkware and changes your home page without explicit consent.
Summary
Stay away from this and if CNET can't do a better job of policing find somewhere else to download from.

"Refused to install on my system!"
Version: CutePDF Writer 3.0
Pros
don't know
Cons
wouldn't run
Summary
can't say too much about this program!
because it wouldn't install properly, on a stock standard Windows 7 system. -
"Installs viruses"
Version: CutePDF Writer 3.0
Pros
Wonderful program
Cons
You had better trust your anti-virus software. It will install some nasty malware onto your computer. Malwarebytes couldn't get rid of it. I had to do a factory reset on my computer.
Summary
For shame CutePDF, attaching data mining viruses onto a wonderful creation. At least say, "free version comes with viruses" or something. I'll pay for a non-virus version, but I bet the pay version comes with viruses too. Programmers who use viruses should not be endorsed or trusted in any way. Do not use or pay for this program.

None to list

"Beware of Embedded Trojan"
Version: CutePDF Writer 3.0
Pros
It works fine
Cons
The installation software sucks. Beware of the Trojan spyware/virus embedded in it. Macfee detected it and removed it.
