      currently l hav buy a psp. But in order to download games, l have to download the megaupload toolbar.

      l heard that it is unwise to download this becos a bundle of spywares comes wif this megaupload.

      nid expert help before l make my decision to download or not.

      even wif the bar, the download speed sucks.. i'd rather spend a couple of dollars on a rapidshare premium coupled with flashget and you'll get blazing speed..(provided your download speed is good)

      With it, you can't download.

      Without it, you can't download also.

      I don't see the benefits of having that stupid toolbar.

      I managed to download without the toolbar. By luck. I was leeching on somebody's bandwidth and it works.

      But after that, cannot liao. With or without the toolbar, Megaupload never work for me.

      the problem is not the toolbar by itself...its those malware that come with it.

      Eh, don't bring extra problems to me. Nowadays logs are freaking hard to read. Infections these days are no longer as simple as the past.

      The thing about infections these days is HJT is no longer an effective tool. If it's within HJT to show, then it's fine. If it's outside of HJT, then you need other tools to show other information.

       

      And auto log readers are not recommended. Everything is researched manually.

      You can start a business and charge everyone $50 to $100 for removing infections.

      LOL... can consider in future. But given that tools are provided FOC and created by volunteers, I probably won't do it.

      It's unfair to them.
