A Fan Of Xolox
 
I have become a big fan of XoloX. It has been the best file share system I have ever been involved with. i have tried many others and had to restart my conputer with a damaging recovery system because of some of the crap they like to dump on you. Yes there have been some minor glitches which have been woked out. But even then it was nothing as severe as what I got from those other fileshare systems. Yes there are times when a download might be slow. But that was the case with others too. But what you do get is far better than having invasive ads, mystery programs appearing on your computer and spam-o-rama from all of the hidden cookies that other dump on you. Overall it is the best fileshare system to come along in a while. Just have a little paitence with it. you will find that in the end you will get more out of this system that you will like than what others have to offer.

I guess it's the banners.. However these cookies are spyware too, as far as I'm concerned.

At http://www.lavasoft.de you can download Ad-Aware to keep cookies and other spyware off your PC.

Already have Ad-Aware and I have not gotten any cookies from using Xolox. I have got some from the bogus files which are nothing more than ad bombs from various websites which should be banned from the web. Thing is I got those also from other shareware systems along with all sorts of other crap from those systems that I did not want. The thing is no matter what someone does to stop crap like spyware or adware there is always someine who will find a way around those barriers. Thus technology progresses.
