Real Player crying foul !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hypocrites & worse!
I also have only ever downloades Real Player once. Only to find that it did all the unpleasant tricks listed by a previous poster. Plus having some even nastier tricks incorporated in the download. Namely, some particularly nasty variants of 'spyware' which are usually without the users knowledge.
The only way available at that time for ridding oneself of Real Player & its obnoxious 'piggy backing' spyware was a complete re-format & re-load of Windows.
The spyware issues are well documented on the internet. Just type "Real Player"+spyware or even better "Real Player sucks", into your chosen search engine.............& watch!
I have had contact with the BBC & some at that organisation are aware of the downside of Real Player & they are now starting to give a choice of 'players' on their otherwise mainly excellent websites.
