Veoh

i'd like to watch this shit on my crazy man phil spector oh this here Veoh.

if i install their plugin, will it fuck over my computer?

thx,

concerned internets citizen

I installed the player to watch A Bittersweet Life and it was fine.

yeah I had to get it once, i only used it once and it seemed fine

thanks watmm. you're my hero. <3

I hear people who install the veoh plugin get their computers taken over by veoh.

They then get turned into veoh marketing zombies.

well, it did piss me off a bit

i only wanted to install it in IE, it went ahead and loaded itself into Firefox without asking, made me restart firefox, session manager loads 32 tabs, then i had to figure out how to remove their gay asswidgets.

...annoying, but nothing permanent. and it works in IE now.

i think i'll leave this shut off normally :)

yes that is the standalone thing, the browser plugin should be fine.

i have never experienced veoh hogging bandwidth or anything. that being said, i dont have it installed anymore but when i did i never experienced any problems.

yeah that "IT'S MALWARE" post is from 2006, perhaps they realized it pissed people off and cleaned up their act.

in any case, i watched video i wanted and carefully disabled all that turd (except in IE which i almost never use, lol).

computer is not melting.

edit: btw, the plugin installed something in the system tray too, not sure if that's "standalone"

i used veoh for anime movies. its almost always good quality and hasn't given me any shit. i just turned it off when i wasn't using it.

i can't get it to work anymore though :(

It's just fucking annoying whenever it wants to update, there's no "no thanks" option and the window always stays on top, it did before I uninstalled it anyway.
