100% Clean

"ImageWalker 2.20" has been tested by the Softpedia labs and found to be completely clean of adware/spyware components.

You might be surprised to know I am regularly spammed by companies who offer affiliate add/spy-ware schemes. I hate spy-ware and always say NO regardless of the money involved.
