lol...i dun see how helpware is different from adware or spyware or whatever ware you want to call it. bottom line is, end users do not like something poking around their system and send info out.

You mean you want more bashing for BLATANT ADVERTISING of a commercial product? (See forum rule 5). I can't understand how you can be so keen on money and tell the people you have a product to sell^h^h^h^hgive away for free. @All: People, there are free players out there which stomp others (with spyware / helpware *rotfl*) into groun. Make sure you look at the free alternatives first before supporting some greedy "companies". Koepi

Hi first of all, let me introduce: My name is Christian Hackbart, i just use DAvengers login for this posting, because otherwise i had to wait 5 days until i'm allowed to answer. For those who do not know me, i'm part of radlight since around one and a half year. After the 3.03 version was finished i offered a fast server for making it public. Unluckily the traffic in the first 2 weeks was soo huge that our free amount was broken and the first bills made me bankrupt - we (I) had to pay more than 600 Euro. This problem forced us to search a way out of this problem, without claiming money from our users. So we (DAvenger) made a contract with Whenu and from this time we bundled Radlight with SaveNow. Unluckily we all know Adaware, and it came that they also added our only income into their blacklist. There was no way, to get an statement about their reasons for adding software to their blacklist, so RadScorpion decided to add an Adaware Removing function into the installer. His main idea was to let people think about the situation, because it was the same way AdAware is working. Maybe it is not the best choice to advise a problem, but it was the fastest way. Unluckily the most people are too lazy (some of them are surely also too stupid) to think about our reasons, but try to keep in mind what would happen with radio or tv stations, without any commercials? The problem is the same, is'nt it? I personally learned from this experience, and my way out was to stop all freeware projects. Hey, even you all use Divx. As you maybe recognized divx is bundled with gator to collect at least a bit money. In the past i've seen a couple of faqs, howto's even in german magazines, which are describing how to remove their ads without harming the installation. This is the same like software piracy and do not play it down! Lavasoft is fueling the fear of their users, and the worst is they even are making profit with this. Adaware is one of the top products at element5. Regards Christian PS: It is not too late to think about a problem!
