Can I have this round to beat the poor dead pony?
I think some people are just so damn paranoid that they might actually believe the adware will pop out of their ass, instead of on the screen. What do you mean it will screw up your computer? It's just software! Uninstall, format. But don't think it's the death of anyone.
There's the thing about being professional. Whoever gave Cyril the MVP award is an idiot, because if they gave it to him, they should have known about the adware. And if they did, and didn't care until other people complained, they are simply hypocrits. And it just proves that it really doesn't mean anything to be an MVP. Because it's something that can be easily be taken so that the majority MVPs are happy with "Microsoft" (or whatever sub-division is in charge of that).
That's all.
