Yes it does use ads, but I have never seen any popups or such, except for drilling down to get the file that you need. The ads are just what appears on the actual page. No pop ups.

Not sure to the legality of it all but for securing your original CD/DVD games it is ideal, as you do not have to go hunting for the game to be able to play it.

595350 2007-09-30 00:22:00 Er, wow! Been 'off' for a couple of days at a friends batch (bach?).
So thanks to all.
I downloaded 'Alcohol 52%' as it was free. Thought I'd check it out first. But I'll be buying 'Alcohol 120%' (I think) as this is exactly what I was after. Great!
Thanks for your help all!
Cheers,
Adrain

If Alcohol 52% does what you want, why get 120%?
The only feature 120% adds is the ability to burn your images to CD.

595352 2007-09-30 01:16:00 Smart thinking, Sherman!
Hmm! I don't need a second copy of the game/s to loose, so guess I will just leave it at that!
Cheers!

You can use imgburn for that.

Hey! Me quoting me! Is that allowed? :p
I didn't mention that the Alcohol 52% version only allows 6 CD images. Alcohol 120% goes up to
31 virtual drives. (according to their site) plus
the ability to write to only two drives at the same time for the trial version
as apposed to 31 virtual drives
OMG! How many quotes? :eek:

Demonhunter, if your still 'out there'? I know this is off this thread, but your suggestion
just startup a virtual machine, go do all your dodgey browsing/downloading, and then who cares if you get spyware etc...? (another quote, sorry! ;) )! How would one go about that? Or perhaps I should start a new thread, a?
Cheers all!

Easiest way is probably to download VirtualPC 2007 (www.microsoft.com) (free) then install the same copy of Windows that your running. (Or another one, whatever suits you) Copy off the virtual hard disk file and keep it in a safe place, then if you get infected, delete the infected virtual hard disk file, and copy the good one back in. Easy as.

595358 2007-09-30 19:40:00 HELLS BELLS.

Surely downloading a crack would have been the most simple solution.
