    Gabest's "Media Player Classic" is in widespread useage and contains no spyware. On our office system network we have 17 systems that ALL have the GAbest player installed - none have a problem with reporting system usage. With the REAL Gabest player you CANNOT use the Control Panel's remove proram function because Gabest player does not register in the REgistry, hence there is no listiong for the player.

    If there is a virus calling itself "Gabest Media PLayer Classic" then you should make that clear from the start.
