cmon, tell me what the fuck is your problem. does it have to do something with choice poker? do they owe you money? did you find spyware on your computer? did you????? you know I post and am mod at oprano poker. but you have to try to be slick and make a scene at j-b-m and try to knock me down when I wasn't looking.
fuck you and if it is true that choice poker did install spyware, let me see the fuckin proof. If it is true then I'll refund EVERY players APT money account right now, and I will close down APT . I have no access or knowledge to this (alleged)spyware you read on a post from a bonus whore at a poker board. I would not condone such a thing and I would never be a part of that if it was true.
can any tech guy help me out here and see if choice poker has spyware on it.please?

Well, thats what you get for posting on Weasel's board...........
J/k....
I know of no adware that came in my install of choice poker. But I did that install back when you first started the the whole poker thing around here.
If there is adware wrapped into the install package, probably the easiest way to find out would be to
1. Find a clean computer (I use an old machine that I wipe out completely and do a clean OS install whenever I am investigating, but any machine that you are fairly sure does not have any malware/adware installed will do)
2. Run Spybot and Hijack This (and any other spyware/malware detectors you know of) against the machine to see what is installed. Hijackthis will give a complete printout of all the different programs installed, browser helpers, registry keys, pretty much everything.
3. Do the choice poker install
4. Run Spybot and Hijack This again to see exactl what changes were made and what nasties might be in the install package.
If you have access to the actual programmers that put together the install pack, ask them to check and make sure that the current download package is their package and has not been tampered with. If in doubt, ask for a newly compiled version.
Other than that, I am not sure what else you can do to guarantee that the installer is clean at this point.
Once you know you have a clean install package. Make note of the date/time of he file and the filesize. Run it through a CRC computation and note the CRC. Then put together a script to make sure at download time that the install package has not changed, that it has the same date/time stamp, file size and CRC.
