Description: Currency Converter 2 is a freeware program to convert between over 200 currencies. You can keep all the exchange rates up-to-date by using the one-button Internet Update-function (with proxy support) to load the Exchange Rates from the Internet. NOTES: Do not worry about registry settings, or redundant DLLs or whatever. It doesn't use any of it. The Inno-Setup installer does of course make a registry entry for uninstalling. If you use the supplied uninstaller then, of course, it'll automatically remove that registry entry on uninstalling.
