Now you're drifting into double talk. QT didn't load spyware, but spyware could have got loaded THROUGH QT. I don't use IE and never have. It is never open on my computer. If you are using "IE components" for displaying ads and these ads are loading Gator or whatever, they are coming through QT. That is exactly what I said happened.

So your programmer wasn't named Isaac. It was something like that. I could go back and dig up the emails if I cared.

Of course I know all software has bugs. DUH yourself. My point was not that your software was buggy but that because it was buggy you couldn't guarantee that it hadn't let spyware through on a specific occasion.

Your explanation, however, about using "IE components" concedes my point.

You still want to tell me I didn't get spyware on my computer from running QT, Jerry? Because it appears to me you've admitted that not only is it possible, it is probable.
