    Bundleware

    Since version 3.1.0, the program contains adwares, as reported on Reddit and VirusTotal. https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/4uqswo/new_version_of_clover_out_310_tabbed_windows/d96tkpy/

    Wings for your Windows Explorer!

    Clover is an extension of the Windows Explorer, to add multi-tab functionality similar to Google Chrome browser. After Clover is installed, you will be able to open multiple folders in tabs within the same window, and you can also be able to add folder bookmarks.

    Note: If you're starting Clover with a bunch of previously opened tabs, so don't be hurry for some first seconds 'cause it can freeze. Also be aware to delete some files if you use Ctrl-D hothey for bookmarking a folder 'coz the same hotkey you can set for deleting without prompt if you unchecked "Show recycle confirmation" in Explorer (or Shift-Del).

    Malware Warning Information: Exercise due diligence, but understand that the required behaviour of this application will trigger some anti-malware engines which look for suspicious behavior, such as tampering with Windows Explorer. You may see warnings on this site or from your own software. Review them, but watch for 'trojan.generic' or 'gen.trojan.heuristic' types of identifiers from antivirus engines, which denote that the file does not necessarily contain identifiable harmful code, but exhibits a potentially unwanted behaviour, which is expected and desirable in most cases. Understand however, that this doesn't mean this download cannot become unsafe, infected with real malware, like other software, so read the warnings from your scanning engines to be sure.

    Clover is probably the best tabs solution for windows right now (I mean, aesthetically), but since the 3.2.7 update (2017-01-19) it has a VIP option, wich means that the free version comes with ads, so be aware of that.

    Years ago "Hi, here's clover. try it. I will never add in mal/ad/spy/etc wares.."
    Then v3 came and that's exactly what he/she did..

    Plainly put, it crashes in win10..it stalls and has other issues.
    It's not fixed, but yet the dev thinks it's sh*tty enough where he can still add in PUPs and people won't care.

    This dev, is on my blacklist.. for being a lackadaisical freeter'esque PUP pusher.

    It's pretty easy to use it, you can use ctrl + t to create a tab, ctrl + w to close it... Almost like with chrome!
    Unfortunately, it updates too frequently for my tastes (almost daily), which interrupts my workflow too much, even though the updates are fast.
    I just wish you could disable them or the updates were less frequent, plus you don't even know what is updated since the update UI is in chinese.

    IIRC the last version that worked that didn't have the bullsh*tware added in, was 3.0.46
    ..
    However, if you install that version, block it from internet access in case it updates..if it updates, uninstall/delete it.

    It crashes often, someone could make decent money from $5 microtransactions if they made a verison of this that was STABLE and wouldn't turn into unethical bullshit like CLOVER has been trying to do to its' uses. SPY/Mal/Ware is a nice way to put it.
