Sonicdownloads.net FFDshow spyware pack

The FFDshow package distributed by sonicdownloads is packed with spyware - just read their EULA.

...... :eek: Just poking around in the installer executable with 7-Zip makes me want to go ballistic... :( Gotta try it out in a VM at work tomorrow. That leaves the question of what to do against such scam artists. np: Pole - Alles Gute (Round Black Ghosts 2)

if they pack it with any sort of malware, you can submit that info (including the binaries and their website) to the major antivirus/antispyware software labs, including microsoft. yeah... that's called RETALATION.

Also the GPL does not allow any additional license restrictions to be added. I haven't seen their EULA but if it does contain additional restrictions (something along the lines of "This software package must not be separated into individual components") it's a violation.
