Exclamation Info on Scumware in Morpheous

There is an article on slashdot.org about this. Here's the link:
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=0...99&threshold=3

Microsoft added a great feture to Internet Explorer to make it easy to install "helper" programs. Thank you Microsoft, oh joy joy joy.

What this nifty little "helper" does is watch every address you go to. If you try to go to certain sites it invisibly bounces you off of a MusicCity server so that when get where you are going it lists MusicCity as the refferer. MusicCity gets paid for every person they reffer.

Not only is this NOT something you want, not only does this slow browsing, not only does this make some systems unstable, not only are MusicCity's advertizing affiliates are getting screwed paying for visitors that they would have gotten anyway for free, but MusicCity is STEALING the payments that should have gone to the actual reffering page.

I *was* planning to stick with MusicCity because they really seemed like the goodguys. F*CK that. I am now downloading the normal NON-MusicCity version of Gnutella. I just need to figure out which one
