   You could offer me the chance to give Jessica Simpson a Dirty Sanchez and I still wouldn't install 180solutions adware on my computer.

   If they gave me the chance to do that just for installing thier bug ridden, system slowing , memory eating garbage I would install it. I have more than one machine and I can sacrifice one for that. back to the story though. this could work as lots and lots of people dion't know how bad 180 or would be willing to deal with the crap for the freebie. i however will continue to be a pirate. AAARRGGHHH! Yo ho ho and a terabyte of movies!

   They pull shit like this all the time and then make a huge deal over something as petty as file sharing.

   No question about the outcome

   If people are desperate enough to watch daytime soaps, they would probably welcome ads on their PC to give them something else to do.

   Cool maybe they could combine the two and people could use their own bandwidth to download a piece of shit spyware.

   Anyone that would go for this already has a substantial "load" of adware and spyware. They would never know the difference. More sauce for the Geekwad goose :)

   hell if they're that desperate maybe they could just watch Soap Network at night to see their soaps. I mean they likely have broadband if they are gonna download soaps and if they have broadband chances are they have cable or sattellite or can afford one of them. Anything is better than this spyware bullshianitz.

   virtual machines

   set up a virtual machine, let 180 install on *that*, given all it would be used for is this "service", and 180 can't screw up the host who cares? if it gets to annoying, wipe it and start again (yawn) probably a violation of the TOS but frankly given 180s rep for being honest like I care.

    180 solutions is SPYWARE

    

    Truth, May 12th, 2006 @ 7:31am

    
    

    It's 180solutions SYPWARE, not adware. Adware would not try to hide itself or keep you from uninstalling it. As soon as a company makes the effort to cover their tracks, it's SPYWARE!
