The first post of this thread contains a link labelled "on our first date" to
http://www.r0bp0ngi.c0m/pages/c0mboG0LDENPALACE.html (I have deliberately mangled the URLto make it 'safe'.
This webpage will, without asking, attempt to install a quicktime app called qttask.exe which places a QT logo in your system tray - there is no uninstall or quit option with this app and no access to preferences to disable it. It does not appear in the add or remove programs list. I had to:
1) stop the process qttask.exe with task manager.
2) delete the folder c:/program files/quicktime (YMMV as to location - search for qttask.exe)
3) manually remove all keys to qttask using regedit (searched for qttask.exe and removed entire apple key along with two other keys, on in the local machine's run on startup area - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run) Needless to say editing the registry is not for the novices.
It makes me sick that Crapple produce this kind of underhanded shit and resort to spyware techniques to sneak it past users!
