Adware, not a virus. Always do a custom installation.

Thanks, I will bare that in mind
annoys the crap out of me that reliable programs like this allow it, some third party sites fair enough, but this is direct from the program (i think)

I just use the portable versions of that kind of software whenever possible... No adware or malware there.
CrystalDiskMark does have an official portable version, if it didn't, I'm sure there would've been one available on portableapps.com
