276461 2004-09-28 09:39:00 We currently use the DAP free program. When doing Spybot it shows, consistently, 8 items which will not clear. This does not appear to cause us any problems ........!!. Is there another freeware that is at least as good as DAP, without any "addons". I guess this will come down to opinions??? Thanks PJ Poppa John (284)
276462 2004-09-28 09:47:00 This is quite good without any add ons

276465 2004-09-28 22:59:00 Flashget is a program i have praised in the past, The latest version i tried is unfortunatly a dog,For some reason when it was running (but not downloading) i was unable to access web pages,and they have incorperated pop-up advertising.

From a 9 out of 10 to a 0 out of 10,

276466 2004-09-29 02:15:00 but theres a little thing that people dont like in Flashget...... spyware, it even says in the link provided above Patrick 2003 (277)
276467 2004-09-29 02:20:00 You could remove it from the old versions,or install it as shareware and have a splashscreen when launching the app.

Besides,i have an older version backed up somewhere that was released with zero spyware,having said that its "spyware" was just ads displayed in the top bar,small price to pay for a program that imo was light years ahead of the others.


Infact,i may just see what the cost is and buy a full version, first time for everything....

276468 2004-09-29 09:47:00 I too can recommend johnboys' suggested site. I have used it for several months after dumping DAP. It has worked most efficiently and without any nasty baggage.

Hopeless.
