Earlier versions were packaged with OpenCandy,[5][6] an adware module which many antivirus software vendors classify as malware.[7][8][9][10]
Since the release of version 10.0 in April 2018, the software is ad-free.[11] In November 2018 Norton wrongly considered FreeFileSync installer as a malware and blocked its installation.[12]
