I get some pretty good download speeds from MegaUpload, why do you guys don't like it?

Anyways, did the Firefox Optimizer worked for anybody else?


Thanks

I scanned it with VirusTotal and it wasn't infected.
Sorry.

It stated very clearly that it is an adware, NOT A VIRUS.
Perhaps that programs has advertisements.

So I just run it to other Pc..
