Yesterday I downloaded DAP on my system. I was downloading a audio file with it. While downloading it has a feature that you can listen to the file also which I tried then suddenly my computer restarted automatically. I looked in event viewer, nothing was there. Then again I tried to play that file while downloading through DAP and then my computer went into BOD, which was showing an error that it might have occured due to recently installed software or driver something......actually error was very big and I cant remember all that. I restart the computer and uninstalled the software. But after that, when I was trying to use any browser (Opera, Mozzilla, IE), I was getting a DAP error that "unable to start DAP bla bla". Now I've reinstalled the software again but I dont want this software. The only last option in my mind is system restore to the previous point but if there is any other way to remove this threat then I will be very happy to know. Regards, Karan
Hey man, You have fallen into the trap of dodgy-download-accelerators with the worst one. Anyway, DAP is pretty hard to remove, if you use Add/Remove Programs all it does is "Disable" it, but DAP will still try to reinstall with internet access. I've found the following page after some googling which seems successful, have a go to see if it works for you. Xona.com - Uninstall Download Accelerator Plus (DAP)
It runs in the background (at startup), and uses idle bandwidth to spy on you, and transmits data back to SpeedBit. Overall, it's useless, and most people's download speed dont improve much. The only download manager that I use is GetRight, has lots of features, and no spyware or ads etc.
Thanks Chris, that link seems to be usefull to me. I will try that when I will get home. Addis, you are right. I've used it so many times but this is the first time with me also that DAP is causing problems....
True. I've tried getright as well, it is good but I dont know for what reason DAP is more famous these days.
