Message: <blockquote data-quote="zeppo" data-source="post: 1018506" data-attributes="member: 147531">thanks for the flip4mac tip.  You know, I can't even remember why I downloaded the videobox now, other than it was promoted as free to new mac buyers over the holidays on the apple page.  I think I was trying to view or download something that wouldn't pull up-- I think a video that was sent via email from someone I know.  That may have led me to the apple store promotion.  I never did submit the license code they emailed me though, because I afterwards saw the warnings about how it doesn't fully uninstall and leaves files on the mac registry.  I'm still kind of uncertain as to why the links I posted refer to it as a trojan or parasite.  I can't figure out if there is a virus that goes by the same name or this app is indeed as nefarious as they say.  But it sure is true that it doesn't uninstall completely.I haven't had any issues with you-tube lately (I'm not on there all that much) so maybe one of the macupdates I've been prompted to get have help or maybe I just hit an odd file type at one point.</blockquote>
