YIKES! Don't download Paint Tool Sai English Pack!!
11 years ago
I've been putting together a new PC, so I've been reinstalling all my software. I saw there was a new version of the Sai English Pack that I always use (the fanmade one from Destwo), and downloaded it... and up pops this obvious crapware installer that riddles my system with shit before I manage to kill it! I just spent all morning cleaning up its mess.
I'm really surprised and annoyed by this. I've been using this English Pack for years and years, and to see them do this.. It's just sad. Fortunately I had the old reliable installer in the files salvaged from my last PC, so I am at least up and running with my old usual version again.
On another note, it's been many years since I put together my last PC. More than the speed of booting from an SSD or the power of a modern CPU, I'm struck by how SILENT everything is now. With my old PC, you turn it on, and all the fans (case fans, power supply fan, CPU fan, GPU fan) start going at full blast. It was like the solid, reassuring banshee scream of a turbine engine. Now, fans are all "smart" and don't spin up more than they need to to do their job. I can't even hear it! It's eerie.

Also... hmm, where did you find that shady 1.2.0 english pack? O.o
I'm willing to bet that you used the "Express Install" that installs SAI, but also.... OffersWizard, Muvic Smartbar and Plus HD. You have to choose the "Custom install" and opt out of that shit.
I opted out of them, and after running Malwarebytes it only found one thing, something called AmiUpdXP.
I just noticed it's the trial version O.O
I've taken the time to mention it on their forums in a much more blunt manner than other users that have just been asking for a download link.
If you need it, tell me.
But the good thing is that now the motherboards and video cards often have the software to adjust the fan speed settings bundled with them.
cool air...
