trinityvixenConvince me not to worry about this, please?
I don't understand entirely what this thing is in the first place, and second off, why would anyone download anything voluntarily because it promised only to let 'good' adware onto their computer?
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GOOD ADWARE.
Adware sucks memory, which just plain sucks. I understand some people downloading this whatever program so they can avoid malicious adware/spyware (I am skeptical as to how this program can do that), but what they're not recognizing is that downloading it is giving permission for adware from the 'approved' lists that will include all of the annoying ad companies (if they're smart enough to get on the lists, which, let's face it, they probably will be). Idiots who think this will protect them are going to still be saddled with adware, and it'll be all above board because, in downloading and using the program, they'll permit the 'good' adware companies to track their interent usage. Disgusting.
