Get rid of the addware/spyware on offerwalls

[silentdecay01]

I posted this in general, as billing section gets no attention at all.

I noticed every single download on the earn offer wall to earn free gpots, is a addware/spyware, some of them are pretty nasty borderline virus, I have subscription to norton, and comp sci major myself, why do you guys keep them up? they never credit and just screw with your computer and its very hard to remove them.

norton... comp sci major

Uh huh.

Also, the fact they are adware is kind of the point. The "free" gpots are funded by advertising revenue.

just think of this. who the hell will give you gpots for free?

Addware and spyware are illegal, so this is really in allods best intrest to remedy.

Why would you "Download" these things from untrusted websites?

pretty simple, if it takes you to an untrusted/unofficial website it has a 99.9% chance to contain spyware/Adware/Trackers/Planters/Keylogger/Malware.

If you want to download the stuff go to official websites of the company name.#

NEVER download from an untrusted website.

and if gpotato says "Download & Install" Stay away as it is a guaranteed Virus that you deserve for downloading it in the first place.

Actually, adware isnt illegal, and only very narrow bands of spyware are. I also doubt the "spyware" is spyware, but browsing habit monitoring adware, which is undoubtedly legal if the user consents to its use.

No, its not a virus.

Malware, maybe.

Adware? Probably.

Bloatware? Definately.
