WARNING
You??™ll run into a lot of buyer beware scenarios when working with software on the
Internet. Sometimes, a piece of software that looks completely innocent can trash your system.
The ToggIt Command Line Helper brought this point home to me recently. You can download this
utility from a number of locations online. The URL provided in this chapter is one of the safer locations.
The software itself is freeware, so no one should ask you to buy it. One of the locations that
I tried to use to download this software had added a shell around the actual utility. The shell asked
me to install a piece of adware in exchange for using this free utility. The deception started with
the first page of the installation program where the vendor simply asked me to agree to the licensing
agreement without telling me anything about that agreement. Only by opening the licensing
agreement and reading it before I went forward was I spared the frustration of uninstalling some
very nasty adware later. Always read the licensing agreement before you start an installation.
Make sure you understand what the vendor expects from you.
The basic ToggIt Command Line Helper interface looks like a nicer form of the standard command
line prompt, as shown in Figure 23.
