I downloaded VLC just to play a video file I could not play. It installed Allot toolbar without my consent. I did not want it and when I seen it pop up I clicked do not agre. This stupid player install installed it anyway. Now it is slowing down my PC and my hard drive si going constantly.
Now I cant get it off of there and the makers of this garbage software should tell me. That is garbage sneaking something in the file I dont want.
this program installed spyware into my system

Re: this program installed spyware into my system
Sounds like you have downloaded VLC from a strange third party site.
VLC does not contain any kind of malware and as a matter of fact the source code is available so feel free to check it and to compile it yourself.
Now if you're looking for a binary then always download it from the official download page and avoid any third party site.
