Borbus Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Depends what client it is. The only one I can think of that has adware in it is BitLord and thats just adware, not spyware and certainly not malicious. I lol'd at "i have already kicked his ass" :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNay Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Just run Spybot S&D and Adaware, or whatever you use for spyware removal and then you'll know ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogerjones Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I think you should be worried about the FBI (the Sydney branch) knocking down your door and smacking you like it's bitch. Then INTERPOL will stop by for some backhanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogerjones Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 No he didn't mysterious_w because it was a figure of speach... maybe the education you have might not be as good as you think... I'm just dying to know how you "figuratively" kick somebody's ass. Please tell. We dun ave FBI mate I know that. I was making fun of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doli Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 You kicked your brothers ass? Damn man, I would have complemented him and taught him ow to use Peerguardian and which torrents are best. Well he said it was his computer, not his brothers. I would hate to find that my brother installed any programs on my PC. Who likes to find out that someone installed stuff on their PCs.
