Glad I'm in the U.S! FYI: >> <a href="http://www.eea.europa.eu/documents/eea-member-countries" rel="nofollow">http://www.eea.europa.eu/documents/eea-member-countries</a> => List of EEA member countries and collaborating countries [The Agency currently has 32 member countries] I'm really surprised by this 'L-A.' I thought GAOTD was against this type of thing? What's-up? ............. ---I guess its not considered 'Adware/Spyware' by the SW Co. if they're telling u about it first and u agree to it by accepting and playing their game. ....And I guess that's why GAOTD is OK w/ it too. [?] ..-Still, I think if GAOTD is gonna offer SW w/ that type of thing they should let people know about it up-front,--BEFORE they DL, that way they have an option/choice! P.S. The Warranty also states "THERE IS NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE VIRUS-FREE." ~{I just find it perplexing how a SW Co. can't/won't claim "virus-free" but sites that offer their SW can/will.} ,..??]
