Is Real Player a part of the Spyware clan? (Like Comet Coursor) -Greg

    Who cares? It's horrible either way! *hiss*

    It pisses me off that a lot of news sites use it...

    I suppose it would depend on how wide one's definition of "spyware" is or perhaps, who you choose to believe. You can read more HERE including, some informative links.

    I have used RealPlayer for almost 3 years, both free and paid-for versions. It hasn't been a problem. But you have to be very careful when you install it that you allow it not to do anything you don't want it to do.

    It behaves very well if you pay attention when you configure it.

    Bottom line: It's too useful not to have. It's better than Windows Media Player and not as good as QuickTime, but nobody uses QuickTime.
