Default WARNING: WildFire CD Ripper is CDex !!!!

I noticed Majorgeeks.com lists this free audio ripper.

WildFire CD Ripper = CDex !!!!

But with undesirable extras and a slightly different appearance. It
comes with options to make Yahoo the default search engine and to
install the Dealio toolbar (i.e. commercial crap) during the program's
install process.

This picture shows the resemblance:

Even the Help file is copied, although it's much larger than CDex's.
There is no reference to the code origins, despite the obvious source.
I am not sure about the legal implications of it all, but in my
opinion this is not the poper, and certainly not a very moral, way to
use CDex's open source code, to put it mildly. One wonders what else
these crooks did with the program.

You can get the real thing he
