Other NeoNapster features worth mentioning -- 3 new running processes and 39 malware registry entries ... as well as directories and files dedicated to malware (and one directory and file that can only be deleted in DOS mode). My God ... I didn't think they could put that much malware in one product ... but, the developers managed to do a pretty good job of it. FWIW, after I removed all that stuff with 2 boots of Spybot, 1 scan by AdAware, and one manual deletion in DOS, I attempted to start NeoNapster without it. The response was a small box saying, "NeoNapster needs BargainBuddy in order to work. Would you like to reinstall it?" I clicked the no button, uninstalled NeoNapster, then manually deleted the directory. Phew. Too much work for one day. Think I'll take a nap.

I never installed it. Just reading the EULA was enough for me!!

[HolyMoly]

The EULA was puzzling. The wording seemed to suggest (at first) that installation of n-Case was an "option." But, their EULA did not mention the extent of system-takeover evident in the program itself. My ZoneAlarm was hopping, asking me to grant net access over a dozen times to a whole host of things I'd never heard of before.

Makes me wonder about something. I wonder how many clueless people out there install P2P software ... but have no firewall or malware removers. And, it makes we wish there were developers out there willing to design malware "replacement" installers ... kind of like KLite did with the CD_CLINT.DLL scenario of Kazaa. BTW, the dummy/inert CD_CLINT.DLL file also works in iMesh (grin).

Thanks for saving me a ton of time...sorry you had to burn so much of yours

[HolyMoly]

In the future, I think it would be a good idea to suggest that if a new P2P app comes out, the person posting news of it should use it first and post a review of how well it works ... after it's gone through the AdAware/SpyBot gauntlet.

rite, besides the adware shit, whats the client like? im too pissed to find out for meself ( new years nite)

[HolyMoly]

I didn't even let it go through the paces ... and not because I didn't want it to. I'm not exaggerating when I say that, even while the connections were being made, ZoneAlarm windows kept popping up asking me to give access to one thing or another. I just got so fed up with all the ZA popping that I killed the client. And FWIW, as I killed the client, ZA popped up one more time asking me to give access to something else.
