AutoGK contains adware

I regret that I need to retract my earlier recommendation to use Auto Gordian Knot. The 1.84 beta installs a BHO at c:\windows\system32\dae.dll (“RESPONSETARGET”) that pops up ads while you browse in MSIE.

It’s the right of the AutoGK author to put whatever junk he wants to in his program (subject to licensing), so I’m not going to post instructions how to remove the adware. Instead I’ll just state that if you don’t want adware on your system, you should not use AutoGK. It’s sad, because it was a useful frontend to a complicated toolchain, and I’m not aware of a comparable replacement at this moment.
