Mercifull Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Unfortunatly i was not able to get the url of this advert other than the site http://www.zwinky.com Zwinky does not make it clear during installation which software on the user's system it will modify or to what extent. Once the software is installed, users will discover that it adds the MyWebSearch toolbar to the following applications: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Outlook, Outlook Express, AOL 9.0 Email and Browser, Becky!, IncrediMail, MSN Dial-up Service, AIM, Google Talk, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and Windows Messenger It also Redirects invalid web addresses to its own website and is automaticly run on startup. You can read a report about the software here: http://www.stopbadware.org/reports/repo ... ame=zwinky Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.
