Thanks paulshorse for getting that taken down.... although it should never of been there in the first place *sigh*
i think it's safe to assume any download for what are otherwise a freeware programs available from the makers sites for free will contain spyware/toolbars at the least and infect the computer with bots or key loggers at worst ... otherwise why would another place pay someone to download a free program?
I feel sorry for the new people with the high targets as such downloads are possibly one of the few free ways they can reach their targets after they have done the surveys, and hope they have good anti-virus/malware detection programs installed.0 -
Hoping to get back into Swagbucks (and a few other survey sites) after some months break, because I might as well be earning money than looking at funny cat pictures
Hopefully the being part of the thread will motivate me as I'm awful at sticking to things :doh:
Here's to making some money! :beer:Here to make some money! :beer:0 -

I'm sure that changing any kind of program to add spyware and adware has legal implications - usually a program will say in it's terms and conditions that it can only be passed on in its original form.I would never download any of the software from the walls because sometimes even restoring your computer to before the download won't get rid of the spyware. The only safe way is to use an old computer and restore it to factory settings periodically or use a sandbox, but it's such a hassle for a few penceSwagbucks joined 5th July 2012 - Earned 2012: Amazon - £300 - 2013: Amazon - £610

I did used to come on here a few months ago and keep up to date but have had an 'extended break' I suppose
It only took me about half an hour to reach 70 SB :THere to make some money! :beer:0 -
Just did a 33 sb survey that I found in my messages, it is on my ledger but hasn't credited towards my daily target - I have never had this happen before.:(0

Thanks to a BBC advert I just got 17 sb for searching "1922"0

Anyone else have the Brainjuicer DS on breakfast cereals that keeps hanging part way through?
Tried ESC and F5, and then it takes me four questions back. Answer same questions again on the next four pages, hangs again. ESC and F5, back to the same four questions again. Stuck in a Cedric loop.
