Default RealPlayer Gets Badware Label

Not sure how many of you out there use RealPlayer but I know you have friends and family that probably do so you might want to pass this warning on to them.
We find that RealPlayer 10.5 is badware because it fails to accurately and completely disclose the fact that it installs advertising software on the user’s computer. We additionally find that RealPlayer 11 is badware because it does not disclose the fact that it installs Rhapsody Player Engine software, and fails to remove this software when RealPlayer is uninstalled.

Well, its not saying that. Just that it doesn't remove everything when uninstalled but you can remove it if you like.
