Site Advisor popped me this note about yousendit.com

Detailed download analysis

Red downloads

This site appears to have a business relationship with Zango, a known provider of adware, spyware or other unwanted programs. Use caution before downloading from this site.

Since I've noted that many people use that site's services, I tought i'd post that.
I have no idea on what they've checked this on, so just scan your files.

~mods: sorry but I didn't know where to put this....

Good to know, not really surprising though, that's a pretty sketchy site.

beleivable... since yusendit has anoying ad popups that will fill up your desktop with windows if you don't close it after y0ou get the file. It still gets through Firfoxs builtin popup blocker somehow :/

anyway I doupt theres any addware added to the actuall f8iles you download, since those are most cases Media files in our cases, would have to be exacutable to install any kind of add program on the system, and I think that would be illegal to do without telling us anyway.

What you should be wary about is if they are recording IPs, email adresses, and stuff like that for the purpose of sending out spyware/adware and junk mail to people. They should have a privacy policy somewhere on the site (wich most people don;t pay any attention to) wich we should probably look at with a magnifying glass before continuing to use the service....

I was all set to write this thread off as another ill-advised newbie thread.

Instead I find some very useful information. Thanks for posting this!
