I dunno about that.
As I mainly run Linux, i am 99.99999% sure that these divxdecore are no
spyware:
/root/compile/divx/divx4linux-20011010/libdivxdecore.so
/root/compile/divx/divx4linux-20020418/libdivxdecore.so
/root/compile/divx/divx4linux-20030428/libdivxdecore.so
Also it does NOT need their player.
There is for windows mdvdp12.exe that is no spyware.
In linux xine and mplayer will play DivX.
There is also their own (divx.com) divx player for linux.
On can easily be conned into thinking a Microsoft application
is spyware, as that OS itself is spyware, and will send all sorts of data
about you and your system to MS.
And the MS OS allows all sorts of trojans to grab your PC.
There is a lot of soft for Divx.... both for the MS trojan OS and the
absolutely perfect future is now Linux system ;-)
Actually I think Iran uses MS soft in their nuclear reseach facilities ;-)
Probably the reason why GWB wants to bomb it.
