Description
```
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I downloaded
"https://flightcrew.googlecode.com/files/FlightCrew-0.7.2-Windows-Setup.exe"
2. Double-clicked to launch
3. Process installed an AdWare piece of garbage that interupted my personal
security and browser settings, and cut me off from the internet.
4. I had to kill multiple processes, uninstall the program and restore my
browser settings.
Your site makes no mention of the adware program that was installed INSTEAD of
the epubcheck.
CRAP!CRAP!CRAP!

Research direction
Start by investigating the linked FlightCrew-0.7.2-Windows-Setup.exe download and comparing its behavior with the expected installer. Done means the published Windows download no longer installs the reported adware and the download page accurately describes the artifact.
