I was looking for a cool program so I could play my guitars thru my comp with the added feature of having effects. So I download GuitarFX about 2 days ago and it seems sorta like a cool program but I never used it cause I downloaded it at werk and was looking at it here incase I wanted to download it at home.
So anyhow, I downloaded it, looked at it and closed it up without plugging in a guitar. Right after I closed it and opened up Firefox, every ad on every page was for GuitarFX or something related to GuitarFX.
I did a Google search to see if it was adware and sure enough I found these pages:

http://www.topshareware.com/reviews/10110-1/guitarfx.htm
If you're thinking about installing this BLOATWARE garbage, do yourself a favor and dont.
