Download Programs (Some Bad)

[bigfoot]

Here it is: ya know all those great download programs like <br>GoZilla and GetRight etc..<br><br>Look at the GoZilla, and Getright, note that both have that <br>little ad bar or window, so does the program Hotline.<br>&nbsp;<br>Most use a funky company to do their adds stuff.<br>&nbsp;<br>But the point is that companies' software sniffs out <br>your browsing, and your PC stats (Hardware, etc) and I <br>have noticed that this causes BIG problems in alot of <br>software, (besides infringing on your privacy) inculding Netscape, and sometimes Visual Studio. So if your running any freeware software that has the magical updating ADBAR, turn it off when it's not in use, becasue it gobbles up resorces AND has major conficts with all sorts of software. <br>
