SongSpy is new and has a refreshing look with it’s recent version 2.0 beta, it also has a a good amount of users as well as shared files, but with it’s installation comes a dirty little deed it would rather no one talk about or figure out how to disable.
It all starts as soon as you finish installing Songspy for the first time, you will soon notice an unusally amount of advertising pop-up windows flooding you screen during random times during internet use. And since they don’t pop-up while one specific program is open or one specific web site is being viewed, you’re left puzzled at their origin, a lot of the times they pop-up even when your web browser isn’t open at all. This all comes from one tiny application file that songspy installs into your system files called msbb.exe, this file is always running with or without songspy being on, plus an even more disturbing thing is that it is always collecting informations about your internet use and when it pop’s-up several advertising windows at a time, it is also sending the last 4 or 5 websites you visited to some advertising database that is making money for clients that are intrusively learning more about you. An invasion to say the least, to fix the problem you would think that uninstalling SongSpy would take care of it but it won’t, that file will still remain in your system folders doing it’s dirty little deed and popping-up advertising windows long after you uninstalled songspy. I’d recommend uninstalling it anyways so you aren’t supporting this type of blatant advertising abuse, but if you still want to use songspy then find msbb.exe on your computer, it’ll be in your system folder, can’t find it then do a search for it and delete it. this will take care of the problem and you should still be able to use SongSpy like before.
