    First, I think that discussion of ad-blocking is against the forum rules. Bit needs money to stay alive, which you're depriving them of by blocking the ads. What difference does it make whether or not you have an unobtrusive skyscraper ad down the right hand side? I hardly even notice them, and when I do, I find them quite useful sometimes!

    Second, how many people do you think will trust a random person on the internet to give them .exes that claim to do something completely innocent without containing a virus or anthing?

    Thirdly, why? These are all simple tasks that a user can perform themself. Why are you supplying a program that does this for them?

    Shame on you.:grr:

    Oh, and welcome to the forums!
