DivX 5.0 warning
So someone said "Dude, you gotta check out Raven Shield's latest video but you'll need this Divx program...go to www.divx.com and get the latest!". Being an avid follower of Raven Shield, I said "Sure thing, right away, I'm on it!", went and got DivX 5 I think it was and installed it.
*bad shite rolls downhill here*
Not 1 minute after installation, I get the usual banter from Gator/CMN/etc all wanting to get to the internet. A big "WTF is this" is issued and I promptly run 'Ad-aware 5.82' with the latest updated reference file. Keeping in mind, I don't install things that promote spyware and I keep a very clean registry (Ad-Aware for spyware and RegHeal for cleaning out unused key/values/etc).
My clean system now had 38 new registry entries for Gator/CMN with 4 running resident in memory. One of them was even named 'Gator SilentInstallSetup'!
Needless to say, I removed it, ran Ad-Aware, ran RegHeal, deleted the folders/etc, and cleaned everything back up.
Moral of the story: yet another program with that damned Gator crap has been found (by me anyways). Just a heads up to those that use it!
We the willing, led by the unknowing, have been doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much with so little for so long that we are now qualified to do just about anything with almost nothing.
