Since we're unable to simulate the problem in our office (we tried several XP versions, hr/fr/jp editions) and still nothing, I would like to ask someone who has red WMPlayer to do us a favour: would it be possible to connect to your system? E.g. do a private remote session (e.g. LogMeIn, TeamViewer, VNC, ...). I think ~30min would be enough to find out what is wrong with WMPlayer.
Thanks!
It's the scripting engine. Cripes, I said that months ago. There's nothing wrong with WMP, per se. It was perfectly fine before avast started conforming to the activity and practic of Google's questionable methods.
With more folks moving to windows 7 and IE9 which has anti tracking unlike the sneaky Chrome browser ( which exists only because of Microsofts move back on ie7 up until now w/ ie9, btw), I don't see that folks will have to worry about it much longer if they're smart.
The problem exists for those who have taken other precautions against marketing strategies that vary. avast is certainly quickly becoming a fanboy type software that even comes complete with a like button last I heard.
I cannot believe that avast swears they don't know what the issue is when it's clear that it's a product of their new found ideology.
I've removed the software from almost a hundred computers already and will continue to recomend that action to those who move onto windows 7 along with IE9. Which blows away chrome based on principle alone, btw.
