About WinSCP?
The WinSCP sponsored installer, in some previous versions, incorporated the OpenCandy advertising module, which utilized the user's geo-location, operating system, and language to deliver "relevant advertisements." The revenue generated from these advertisements was divided between OpenCandy and the WinSCP developers to support ongoing development. However, the current version of the installer does not include the OpenCandy module. Instead, it now includes Google Chrome as part of the bundled software.
