Interesting

okay, let me give you an example. I needed to download a utility that I will use exactly once in my life (a file conversion from a weird older format). I looked around, found a free software download site, and downloaded a utlity (pretty small, probably a 5k program, nothing serious). I couldn't figure out why the download was so fucking huge.

Go to run the install, and it wants to install something called (I think) U Want Search. Read the fine print, and it is a program like seekmo or zango that will popup windows when you surf. I declined the install, but even as I did, it set off norton and windows defender... the fucker tried to install even when I said no.

It didn't install, but it managed to fuck up all the favorites, home page, search pages, and kill all my saved passwords out of firefox, and fuck it up so it wouldn't restart. I had to install a new copy.

I don't have a problem with advertising supported software (I run ICQ 5.1 with the ads on the bottom of the page, example). As long as I am using their software, I am subject to their ads. But "popup generators" that are not part of the original software I download are a pain in the ass and far extend past the limits of the software I chose to download. You use a utility once, but you pay for it every minute you are online forever? What a fucking unfair trade.

No wonder companies like Zango average out 100% turnover every 4 or 5 months. Nobody in their right mind would want that shit on their systems.

The aggressive defense of these practices is what keeps people replying and flooding the forum with so many threads about it.
Wow... interesting thread... I'm not sure where got that I defend spyware, torrents, etc... but more power to you...

My point has always been, I see many guys on this board one post they are crying because they can't make money, then the next post is bitching about any one of those topics and how they had spent hours researching it or whatever...Personally I've found working on my own business reaps bigger rewards than worrying or bitching about someone else's business...

So I guess if minding my own business, which BTW doesn't include any of those practices is considered a, "aggressive defense of these practices" as you put it, than guilty as charged...
