Money Talks, BS Walks
 
Limewire,BearShare,KaZaA???
Ok, all of the above and maybe more have packaged the Trojan in their software, and then released it to the public, I have seen some posts saying these companies didn't know, they were tricked and so forth, I say BS, they knew exactly what they were releasing on the public.

You say no, Ok how many of the above companies have pulled their software, ie stopped giving it to the public? How many of the above companies how removed this Trojan from their products, and have issued a new Trojan free version?

How many of the above companies have made a public apology to their users? how many of the above companies have put up a warning on their site, about this Trojan? how many of the above companies still allow users to download the infected software, and say nothing?

Money talks and BS walks, these companies knew exactly what was going on, now they just set back and let everyone defend them, and let everyone point the blame at ClickTillUWin.

Yes ClickTillUWin designed it, the same way Winchester designed the rifle. and the above companies distributed the Trojan, without checking it or knowing what the Trojan would or could do, I doubt that. I believe they knew what it would do and could do, and also they knew their users would blame ClickTillUWin, so what did they have to lose? Nothing, Now if no one found out what did they have to gain? Money, either way they would win.

The above companies put out a Trojan for profit, and if they got caught, they would, be seen as an innocent victim as well, LOL. I got to hand it to these companies, they have fooled a lot of people.

Hi I am new here and I have been looking at what every one has been saying about this so called Trojan. I play the ClickTilluWin game and I went to their site and look at what they say. If you look at their terms they tell you that this is being installed on your computer. That doesn't sound like a trojan when they tell you it is there. I also went to McAfee and Norton today to see what they are saying. McAfee says its a program and Norton's page says file not found. So I don't know what is going on but I have the files on my computer and ClickTilluWin says you need them to play the game for updates and other stuff so I am leaving them. Just though you all should know.

why do i have to go a site to read TOS of something i never intend to use?
TOS and option to optout should be present during install.
none of programs that boundled that spyware included such info.
no valid "game" need to replace your explorer.exe or report back which websites i go to or download updated version of explorer.exe or contant websites outside of it's own domain.
no1 will make me now play that ****ed up scam of ClickTilluWin. i hope they go out of business very soon and prosecuted for their scam.
