Sorry TheGreatGrapeApe , but I don't live and breath in this forum, so I'm sorry if it has been discussed. I did a seach on tomsharware and found nothing that helped..
That's fine, still lotsa info on google though if you spent as much time researching as creating the original post. Like Kamel mentions, more time on your part to actually think about the situation instead of being paranoid and yelling 'fire' / 'spyware' right off the bat.
IMO it's inexcusable for a company to use the same file name as a spy ware file.
How about it being inexuseable for a spyware firm to use the name of another app. How many 3 letter combinations do you think are out there, and do you really think this is the first time something has been call MOM? :roll:
I am not a noob, and just because you are mod now don't give you the right to degrade other members with the chip on your shoulder.
Has nothing to do with being a mod, I would've written exactly what I wrote if I weren't. You expect that because I am a mod I should treat you differently, that would be a n00b mistake.
This is a serious mistake by ATI, and in no way should the be defended, after all they told consumers to revert back to 7.1..
No they didn't, but the April Fool's joke says they did.
Your rudness was uncalled for, but I guess that goes with promotions..
Nah, hasn't changed, my rudness is because of your ignorance, and becoming a mod is not a 'promotion' it's so threads like this can be deleted once they've run their course to avoid perpetuating such stuff. Had the mods at those other sites done the same it would've deleted the April Fool's reference that gets regurgitated over and over.
I've always enjoyed your insight, but to flame me for a spy ware concern was stupid on your part..
ban me if you want...
Why would I ban you? I don't really care about hurt feelings, obviously you do, but my intention is pretty simple; squash the rumour-mongering before it perpetuates the cycle again. A little intensive research instead of posting this thread would've been the wiser choice. And had you actually contacted ATi they would tell you no one has suggested rolling back to 7.1, not even in February, 5 months ago, when it first appeared.
Like I said I did a tomshardware search on the matter and found nothing, then get flamed for asking a question.
You didn't get flamed for asking you got flamed for adding the inflamatory reactionary paranoia spreading the BS from the April Fool's day forum floods with re-quoting stuff like this;
"One guy said he had credit card fraud the day after installing 7.2 ccc."
You know what, after you install the intel X3000 driver updates you get a phone call from someone who says your ystem will die in 7 days. :roll:
Nvidia drivers will steal your bicycle, SIS drivers will molest your cat, Via drivers will eat your lunch, and XGi drivers.... well they are actually pretty bad.
Your second sentence got you flamed, and ask anyone else if that wouldn't get them flamed in any other number of forums. Asking a question is fine, stating that something is spyware is libel. So if you feel slighted, that's fine, but at least I didn't resort to libel to do it.
