      Bad experience with E-Donkey 6.1 (spyware)

      I downloaded this program from the official site and it installed ok, but then it asked me if I wanted to install a plugin called ucmore, so I said yes, being a bit uncertain I loaded up the ad-watch program, comes with the adaware package, and it went crazy saying my registry had been modified, it was blipping me ever second, my cpu usage was 100%. So I ran adaware and it removed all accept for a ucmore.dll as it was in use and of which I couldn't find in memory, the registry or the win or sys.ini files. I switched the pc off so it would unload the spyware program completely and booted to dos using a Windows XP Pro Boot disk, went too the program files dir/ucmore dir and zapped the ucmore.dll file. Booted too Windows normally and after I entered my password it stated it couldnt find this ucmore.dll file. So I ran Norton System works 2002 Pro and ran the windoctor, it found a few probs and fixed them all, rebooted system clean as a whistle.

      Without adaware and its adwatch utility anyone is running a risk of installing a Spyware program without knowing it. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED SO TAKE HEED.

      you can download a spyware free version of this from the main site did you know !? and you dont have to install the UCMORE option either !!! its a pain in the butt and loads have probs with it if you dont choose to install ucmore you should get no probs with this ! i use edonkey minus spyware and not installing ucmore option just untick it in options !

      yes, just as VIPER mentioned.

      PS
      incidently XOLOX is back up & is probably the best peer2peer to use for anything not on eDonkey (sharereactor). It was my fav program till they decided to shut it down (& even then it worked with a hack better than any other peer2peer client).
      I just downloaded the new version last week & as fast as ever. Highly recommend it for all your download needs.
      (eDonkey works best only for those files found on sharereactor)

      inquisitive inquiry

      What if Ad-Aware itself contained spyware?

      lol, it doesn't sameoldstuff.
      Besides it would then find its spyware & delete itself lol.

      But if it did, you would notice it as it tries to communicate back home (if you have a good firewall).
