Sorry about that short post. I was kinda upset and wanted to get all the other add-ons out of my system quickly so I could continue on FC. Anyway, my other post under the 69 cent video, which kept moving around, so here's what I posted there:

One window that opened AFTER I went to delete this program showed that there are "hundreds" (as an expression) of other ads that will download every time you click on something here on FC. Monster jobs, AOL, some insurance program, and a couple others I have had already AND it doesn't allow some things to show on FC. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS MARIO BROS.

I had to restore my computer to an earlier time because I couldn't find all the add-ons by going under Add/Remove programs. I still have a sneaky add on showing up once in a while, but it doesn't seem to interfere with FC so when I have time, I'll find it.  ::)

Thanks for the warning!  Don't think I would have done this offer anyway but for sure I won't now!  I'm kinda babying my computer anyway since I had some serious issues with Malware a couple of months ago;  I'm more selective about what I even look at now.  Thanks again.

Thanks for the warning!  I try to stay away from downloads, but sometimes I get sucked in!  :)  .69 is a lot of $$ for a video, I bet a lot of folks get taken in by the "easy cash".  I really wish there would be a separate tab for "download required" or something.

Thank you! Usually if something asks me to download it, I just close it and move on. It's not worth the hassle.

Thanks for the heads up, Im always careful when downloading something. This .69 cents is worthless if we get virus etc. in return.

I downloaded the game and experienced the same problem. I had to go in and uninstall a lot of things just for downloading this game. It is not worth all of the trouble. :sad1:

Thank you for the warning!  I was thinking about it, the money was a draw, but decided not to.  Glad I didn't, hope your computer is ok now.

Thanks for the warning.  I usually do not download anything anyways and I would not have download it since I do not like video games.  After I got cheating out of  a few $$ after a video I do not trust any video for more than 2 or 3 pennines.

That's some good info, I'm always mindful of such download offers because they come with a bad rep, usually installing more than what's mentioned, not paying or forcing you into additional offers.
Suggestion: Go back to add remove programs, click on the title "Installed On" until all the dates are grouped with similar dates.
That way you'll find any missing downloads. Clear your history... Then do a virus scan... your computer should be good after that.
