Whitesmoke Writer detected as spyware by MS Security Essentials

[mmardini13]

I recently tried doing the "Whitesmoke Writer" offer and after installing my antivirus program (MS security essentials) picked it up as spyware....

Now I have 3 problems with this.

1. Why is fusioncash allowing spyware in their offers.

2. After all that i wasnt even credited 

3. Every offer that requires installing has not gone through for me including the RealPlayer Free Install and Urban Warfare II

1.  I don't think FusionCash is allowing spyware on their website.  I believe they work with several vendors and it's probably hard to control all the downloads that they offer.  I'm sure they weed through most of them, however.  It might also be a third-party hacking the software adding the spyware.  It's really hard to tell. 

2.  Yes, unfortunately, you won't get credit for every offer.  There's a good explanation about this in the tutorial.  Make sure you clear your cookies before you complete an offer. 

3.  I also haven't been credited for many of these downloads.  I now mostly stay away from most of them unless it is something that I find useful.  I also had one download offer that contained a virus.  Fortunately, my anti-virus software caught it.

I got credit for this offer and after installation, they ask me to give email id so they can send me deals for whitesmoker...if you have missed this part then you won't get credit. I have malwarebytes on so I can easily remove all spyware and malware.

I am also leary of downloads to my computer.  It is an old boy and is very slow as it is.  Also others in the house use it so I'd be in deep doo if I messed it up.  Feel like I am taking a risk with any of these sites but I do try to check them out on forums before I start logging on.  Didn't see White Smoke in the offers.
