Realplayer is such spyware
 

I hate this fucking thing. What pisses me off about it, is that when you close it, ITS STILL RUNNING!. This shady piece o shit runs in the background, and I have to bring up the task manager in XP to 'end the process'.

What part of CLOSE does Realplayer not understand?

jeeeeeez

There is no point with RealPlayer really. I don't understand why it is so popular (commonly used).

I think they have a lot of radio stations and shit, but I've never checked it out. The video quality is always terrible, I got rid of that piece of shit program.

Yeah, Real Player is a fucking nazi... it overrides all other players and is barely compatible with any media. i deleted it from my hard drive. fuck real player.

There is an option to disable it from running in the background.

"View"
"Preferences"
"General"
Under Startcenter click "Settings"
Then make sure it is checked off where it says "enable Startcenter".

The program is a real piece of shit. I hope they go under.
