Audiogalaxy 0.606 contains spyware

For those who downloaded new update for Audiogalaxy and
don't have any firewall that detects that crap immediately
(I mean any kind of spyware).
Read it's readme.txt file. There are couple of words about
WebHanser in there.

So lame...

hehe

Lynx, you didn't get it.

I'm talking not about those 2 pieces of crap you can
choose during installation.

I'm talking about the third one called WebHanser that
is installed automatically on your system without any prompt.

And that really pissed me off

If you use that program that removes spyware...will it remove the entire program? Like Audiogalaxy for example, if I use that prog that removes spyware will it totally remove Audiogalaxy or just the spyware within Audiogalaxy?

Read This!

Hi there.
I know this is off the topic about spyware but at least it's got something to do with Audiogalaxy.
I am firewalled and everytime I try to run the proggie I see 'Error connecting to master server' I've read many help files and searched any info on the net but no luck I've tried setting up Proxy and stuff I still can't connect...
Anybody ever had that problem?
Thanx I'll appreciate ur help.
