DivX Pro 5.0.2 Ad-Ware Question


DivX Pro 5.0.2 Ad-Ware Question

Postby Solarix » Jul 26, 2002 @ 3:58am

If I download DivX Pro 5.0.2 from their website with the adware, would Ad-Aware be able to remove all of the adware from it?

uhm.. no, it's not that kind of adware. Be my guest and try it if you want to, though.

Ad-Aware gets rid of (better? idiots :P) spyware. You need other.. nonethical.. means of getting rid of those ads. However, if you have programs like Kazaa, which use the spyware Cydoor for it's ads, and delete that, Kazaa won't run, so be careful with it.

Ad-Aware is Spyware? No way... How... ironic.

Is that true? I was wondering about that myself thinking how funny it would be if a program to remove spyware was spyware within itself.
