[QUOTE="Ink, post: 386739, member: 3"] For this thread, I will be posting setup screenshots from Vuze Leap and Vuze Torrent Client, and any unwanted software. In the first round, I have no Anti-Adware specific software installed to prevent, only controlled and educated mouse-clicks. In the second round, I have installed Unchecky to test if it can protect against Click-Happy users.
