"infolinks" cookie they put into your browser to stop them has been considered malware for ages and info links considered intrusion ware.. Rendo's greed for more $$ from ads will end up finishing them off it this keeps up

Thanks for the heads up, a quick search on infolinks does bring up a lot of questionable practices, and unwanted activities. I didn't even consider that Rendo would invite such a questionable "business" into their web site, with the possibility of exposing all of their loyal customers to their nefarious activities.

To think I was actually considering upgrading to Poser 11. Given this obvious lack of judgment, and the fact that Poser 11 is phoning home, and will have links to the store built in (and who knows what else now), I'm no longer considering it. This is truly disturbing. This is the only 3D market place that I have been exposed to this type of dubious advertising, all for an extra buck. I feel perfectly safe at competing sites, in fact you won't see any off site ads or marketing at DAZ, Reallusion, Hivewire, Unity, or Unreal. Not to mention you won't get this type of treatment from any reputable software vendor like Pixlogic, Autodesk, SideFX, or even Adobe. Your user base has to trust your decisions, especially if they are installing your products on their computers. This move as severely undermined my trust here (and it was already rather low).

So sad that they have chosen to attempt to make money off of their patrons in such a dubious manner. Well, off to start running malware and spyware scans on this PC and the tablet I used. Thanks Rendo for nothing!!
