Exclamation Truth in Advertising

Xolox says "XoloX does not trick its users into installing anything they don't want. "

I was sorely disappointed to discover over thirty changes to my computer after installing ver. 1.57. A few of these were cookies but most were new entries or changes in my registry. A shortcut was placed on my desktop for an on-line casino.

I realize that advertising revenue is necessary but the ads (including pop-ups) are utterly distracting and irritating. I would certainly never buy anything from your advertisers.

Too bad. Xolox arguably has the potential to be a truly excellent piece of software. I fear it will never realize it's potential in it's present form.
