to ADMIN and DAvenger:
ADMIN>
1. The version of RADLIGHT I downloaded was the most current one from download.com. I don't know which version is or is not bad, and it shouldn't matter. Criminally harmful code should NEVER be tolerated. When I contacted RADLIGHT in a nice email requesting thier assistance, they sent the email response I already posted, showing me that they were defensive and arrogant, full well intent on causing the damage they had done and then denying it.
2. TRUE, I can understand your point of wanting more evidence that RADLIGHT does more than kill ad-aware. Thats why I posted all the links to other peoples reports on the issues with RADLIGHT. Did you even bother looking at any of them?
3. I did not intend to imply that DAvenger was in anyway associated with a terrorist group or the Russian Mafia. Just his actions and the actions of RADLIGHT to deseminate harmful software are ILLEGAL by US Laws. RIAA will most certainly run into the legal issue if they push what they want to do, as well. People have the right to have their computers, software and OS left alone, whether it is Microsoft, RIAA or RADLIGHT inflicting the damage.
4. I do not LIKE adware, but I understand like banner ads that some form of compensation for free-loader software is needed. As I said, I will gladly purchase full-versions of software I like. I do not like software which only allows me to use it if I don't have other software. I don't buy a car that will only allow me to get gas from Exxon (not that one is MADE...)
5. I sincerely appologize for violating the rules of your forum and spamming. I was wrong, but at the time I was very pissed at RADLIGHT and thier denial of any wrongdoing, and thier bad-mannered emails.
6. I was NEVER intending that YOU (digital-digest.com) were CENSORING posts, I was referring to RADLIGHT, who does/did.

1. I do understand your anger at having your revenue stream interupted by ad-aware uninstalling it, BUT you could have done a much more acceptable method. I.E. Limewire WON'T work if you remove the ad-ware that comes bundled. I don't remove it with ad-aware, I let limewire earn their money. I probably wouldn't have removed your ad-ware either, if it wasn't too annoying and I liked the program.
2. My system is VERY clean and has no viruses whatsoever. All the troubles began when I not just installed RADLIGHT, but when I first opened the player. I, too, do not know why the program would delete EXE files en masse, but it did. EVERY single one that was not currently in use. Maybe this was a glitch in your attack on ad-aware in the way you searched thru drives and paths for any part of ad-aware.
3. I am also still waiting as to what, other than critisizing RADLIGHT I did in violation of your forum rules??
4. If I did indeed violate some rule, I will appologize, but a blanket appology for something I didn't do won't happen.
MAYBE download.com had an old version, or someone had tampered with and uploaded a destructive version, BUT I got screwed by the RADLIGHT that I installed, and then was insulted and attacked when I requested assistance. Look at the emails. YOU were the first to become insultive.
5. I would REALLY love it if RADLIGHT would work for me. I do not like the current players I have, as none of them can play every format, But I won't use RADLIGHT if it damages my system. To be fair, I will download DIRECT from RADLIGHT, if I get 100% assurance from you, DAvenger than it will not erase ad-aware, nor any other program. I am even willing to try and help you learn what happened, by taking a snapshot of my registry before and after install, and/or any other thing you think would be helpful.
I think DAvenger might have a good product, if he can get over his hatred of ad-aware. There are lots of other ways to make revenue. Make it a download trial version that will only work 90 days or something. Put a date stamp in the registry to keep people from uninstalling/reinstalling when the free trial runs out....
just a thought.
