Angry Accusations ? Yes and with reason !

That you are now writing your own ad-code and stuff great .
But this silent auto-downloading of installers has to go .

As long as somebody has something to complain for Clean LimeWire will always exist .

Found a run-entry in my registry containing the following :
"C:\Program Files\topMoxie\JavaRun.exe /cp: p "C:\Program Files\topMoxie" com.ETraffic.ETProxy.ETMain"

Oh and may I people remind you when your firewall says that a program is reported listening on some port that it is inviting connections originating from the outside .
Any program running like this is per defenition a server application .

Like you explain me is that it needs net acces to download it's installer .
Then why does it keep an port open ?
Unless the connection or "download" is started from the other end downloads do not need ports listening for connections .

Edit : After closer examination I discovered it was a proxy .
You guys were gonna loop everything my browser sends or receives trhu this thing ?
God , haven't you learned a thing of the last spyware wars ?
If you tell people cleary and without too much crap what it is and what it does and give them a choice upon install they wouldn't mind installing this thing ...

I can predict the next flamewars and spyware topics popping up .
Can you ?
