Enjoy the game right on your tv set! What is the deal with the vshare toolbar? Are you getting paid to force people to install it? and I'm very serious about the question. Not everyone is literate in these matters. If you're really just doing this to make a buck on our community - then no thank you. Providing a service is one thing, but taking advantage of people is another. So, until we get a satisfactory response on the nature of that toolbar then your link will be removed.

bowery4 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 SDS I understand your concern but that site that he listed is the only one I could get to work here in Bangkok and I am happy it was there to see the game. I don't use my IE for anything else so having the toolbar installed doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered the same thing. I just turned it off in the "View Toolbars" menu; of course, it's still installed, just out of sight out of mind. I see it as just another program wanting to try and take over my computer - no different from Adobe, Microsoft SiverLight, Quicktime, and just about every other program in the world. It sucks, but it's pretty much the way of software developers. At least this thing worked like a charm and allowed me to view the game. I do, however, appreciate your concern and am curious about the OP's reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott...I am not trying to be a smart ass, but I am one of those very illiterate in these matters. What are the possible dangers involved here? I downloaded to watch the Bills/Bengals game, and now I have an additional "Vshare.TV toolbar. It hasn't really caused me any trouble (I haven't used that toolbar for anything), but what could it do?

Omar Little Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I watched the game and then deleted the toolbar immediately. No use taking any chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) I watched the game and then deleted the toolbar immediately. No use taking any chances. For some reason, I can't figure out how to delete this toolbar. I can hide it, but I can't get rid of it altogether.

sweatpantsjoe Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 You might want to figure out a way to password protect the stream in the regular season and post the password here in the forum. NFL usually cracks down on streams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have Firefox? If so, go to Tools at the top of your screen and then click Add-ons. You can delete it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dog14787 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) Yes, I think that is what he is saying. We have listed numerous sites in the past on TSW that have free links to sporting events and they all are in danger of being shutdown during games including this one. The best thing for folks to do is to have more then one site bookmarked so you can switch if necessary. I have about 10 sites myself personally just in case. Last season I had to switch sites on numerous occasions so be prepared. SDS's concerns are for good reason, Deano is our on board computer wiz and If you ask him he will probably tell you for security reasons not to download something If you don't know what it is. Myself personally,I probably depend on using go back (restore program) to much because if it means the difference between watching the game or not I'm going for it. As mentioned earlier in the thread though the toolbar add on is easily removable and didn't appear to pose as any risk. With that being said its almost impossible to actually know If you are putting yourself at risk. Note: Its possible because of the toolbar add on that the link itself will be more secure during game time because an actual form of payment( downloading/trying the tool bar) has been made.

It certainly didn't contain some magical video enabling technology that allowed you to see the game. It was put there for superfluous reasons and I suspect it is a crap way for this guy to make money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are probably onto something: http://forums.buyscripts.in/template-modifications/2584-offer-your-own-toolbar-your-site-make-money.html and http://buyscripts.in/make-money.html I simply won't install this sort of stuff. I just don't trust it. I'll live with replays on NFL.com rather than compromise the security of my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I check for this? I really appreciated the feed, worked like a charm and good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its off one of the same sites I've been using for a long time SDS so I kind of doubt it but you never know I suppose. Many live sporting event sites also ask for donations/require additional downloads and in some cases donations are the only way you will receive their services.

It should be visible in the upper right hand corner under your regular tool bar, I thought mine said Bling but I've already removed it (right after the game) Great feed, I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
