Unity, the company behind the multiplatform game engine of the same name, announced it has entered into an agreement to merge with IronSource (opens in new tab)<\/span>. “If you don’t know ironSource,” Unity’s statement reads, “they bring a proven record of helping creators focus on what creators do best \u2013 bringing great apps and user experiences to life \u2013 while enabling business expansion in the app economy.”<\/p>\n

IronSource is also well-known for another reason. It developed InstallCore, a wrapper for bundling software installations. If you’ve searched for a popular program and seen a link to a third-party site with a URL that ended in something like “downloadb.net” or “hdownload.net” it may well have been InstallCore. If you made the mistake of downloading it, you’d be offered the kind of extras with generic names like RegClean Pro and DriverSupport an unsophisticated user might click OK on, which is how you end up with a PC full of toolbars and junk that’s as slow as your parents’ is. InstallCore was obnoxious enough Windows Defender will stop it running (opens in new tab)<\/span>, and Malwarebytes (opens in new tab)<\/span> too.<\/p>\n
