WHY DO I GET THIS OBNOXIOUS POP-UP EVERY TIME I JUST WANT TO DL AN .STL FILE!!! I DON"T WANT YOUR FRIGGING POS PROGRAM, NEVER ASKED FOR IT, AND TOTALLY RESENT THAT YOU ARE FORCING ME TO DOWNLOAD SOMETHING I DON'T WANT TO USE! REMOVE THIS REQUEST FOR ME TO DL, BBB REPORT, OR LAWSUIT FOR ATTEMPTED HIJACKING OF MY DOWNLOADS THROUGH YOUR APP... YOUR CHOICE!
