| Check your facts, there is an "optional" toolbar, no spyware, adware or malware
The packages meet approval by Microsoft, eg: http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/prices.aspx?itemId=2206771&stext=...
You can check their terms if you wish. | |

| These files from the directory "ffdshow" are coming up as spyware in SpyCatcher and various sources on line are saying it as well.
I've checked my facts...If this is wrong, why?
libavcodec.dll
libmplayer.dll
TomsMoComp_ff.dll
libmpeg2_ff.dll
ff_wmv9.dll
ff_mpeg2enc.dll
ff_libfaad2.dll
ff_theora.dll
ff_tremor.dll
ff_liba52.dll
ff_libdts.dll
ff_libmad.dll
ff_samplerate.dll
ff_unrar.dll
uninstall.exe | |

| ffdshow in my package installs to system32, it does not create its own directory.
Uninstall.exe is also not from my package, my uninstaller is "Uninst.exe" in "system32/C2MP" | |

| My friend, I'm only reporting what this program is telling me. Having read your posts here and having spent the last 20 minutes or so looking for more info, I'm beginning to think the SpyCatcher program is the actual shit and yours is legit.
I did ask why your files are/would come/coming up as "spyware" if they're not. This is what I do not understand and I am sincerely asking you why they come up as such. I'm not trying to give you a hard time. Just looking for answers.
I apologize for my outburst but bro, when I get something like this and then more support to confirm the same, I get pissed. I do apologize for that. 
EDITED:
Edited to fix tiepows....

| No worries, I hate spyware and if I pick up on some in a package that is supposed to be clean I flip out too.
The files you have there are in the wrong directories to be from my authentic package, so I'm pretty keen to know where you downloaded the installer, someone may have wrapped the installer in another that does contain spyware.
Do a clean up to remove those files because they are definately not from my package and uninstalling them shouldnt have any effect on my package's functionality.
Each component of my packages are scanned with Spyware Doctor, Ad-Aware SE, ADS Adware Remover & Microsoft Anti Spyware prior to being integrated and all are clean. | |

| I was waiting for you to post and figured you'd reply with what you did so, I have already removed them and download the pack from the link to C-Net from Microsoft's site you posted.
Thanks for all correct info and again, I truly am sorry.
I feel really stupid now.....

| I forgot about this: this kind of problems could be avoided if you add a digital signature to the installer. | |

| It's too expensive to do at the moment and the spyware packages that have been found have been a simple installer that wraps around mine. | |
