downloaded a file today, got told that there´s a codec error and it should be played with WMP.
when file is played with WMP a wibsite pops up >> http://freaktorrents.info/blocked/9.9/?embedded=false
clicking the link on that site redirects u throu a few sites and finally end up at >> http://galleries.zango.com/864298c0bc/8 ... index.html
and they have VLC player on there, allthou i have a feeling that they are in no way affiliated with Videolan at all, u guys might wanna have a look at it, i sure dont wanna download it xD

well, besides that, keep up the amazing work on the best player out there, it is nothing but AWSOME
and sorry if this is posted in a wrong section of the forum, only place i could find it would fit in just a bit.

Peace and Graditude from Denmark c",)

Yes that's a spyware version, sadly that's common practice with popular, free programs. Spyware versions pop up everywhere.
