You mean when you start the casino, it will recreate the shortcuts, or it does it automatically after you delete it?

If it does it when you restart the casino, then the code is in the casino.exe itself and there's nothing you can do.

If it recreates them when the casino isn't running, then they have a background process running that is doing the dirty work. If that's the case then just find the culprit by going through the process list.

It recreates the shortcuts everytime the software is started. I don't personally want them on any of these places and I hate the fact that Intercasino seems fit to place these on my puter without consent.

Please fix it Intercasino.

is it because you don't want your wife/anyone to see it on your system? i also don't like little icons everywhere, just wondering if you feel your privacy is violated by the icon-spawning.

i feel the same about when boss/cryptos snailmail a PIN code, or also random mailers that you didn't ask for. if someone saw that in the mail and they disapproved of you gambling, could be fireworks!

Ok. This is getting really annoying.....

I d personally like feedback from Ryan.

Hi umberto and forum members,

The InterCasino buttons are from InterCasino. They are there for easier access to our sites and software but are not Malware or Spyware applications. I will let you know the full process of how to hide / delete them from your destop and will post this on this thread very soon (hopefully by tomorrow or Saturday).

Apologies to all members who are finding it an inconvenience, and to those that have sent us positive feedback, I'm glad that you find this tool a more convenient way to access InterCasino.

Regards
Ryan

This is very disappointing coming from a shop like Intercasino.

The latest software is aggravating - I tried deleting the XPI extension from the Intercasino folder so it wouldn't try to install itself every time I launched Firefox, but the next time I started the casino, it automatically redownloaded the XPI.

IMO, there's no excuse for this roguish behavior. You're pushing something that users don't want.

Hi Ryan,

Your explanation would be OK if the software was asking the user if he wants or not this extra "features".
As it doesn't, it is not meant to help the user but rather the casino.

I would prefer that you ask me before installing (and I would choose NO) and not that you give me a solution to delete or hide them after being installed.
I love you games and I'm impatient to see the new ones them but I won't do that before I'm sure that this upgrade won't affect my browser.

I use opera and never get offered any of this crap, buttons and the like..... I just thought i'd check Ie and wadda ya know, 32red (poker), doyles room, ladbrokes, UB and Mansion have all installed button without my knowledge......

No biggie really but it would have been nice to be asked.

I can appreciate the dillema faced by vendors when trying to balance the whole ease of use of a particular program, making it easily accessible at the same time as keeping security tight and not invading our privacy.

I can't see the accessibility improvement by adding all these buttons and toolbars. I guess players who wanted to play at intercasino had no difficulties to locate the relevant shortcuts on their system in the past.

The behaviour of this "feature" is intrusive and annoying (=malware), especially with firefox and the quick launch bar. The sole purpose of the feature is to support "impulsive buying".

I really would like to see one of the positive responses to the new buttons. "HI, was just dropping by to say thanks for the buttons that are automatically placed all over my computer. I was having a hard time finding the start icon after i downloaded, BUT NO MORE! "?

The ratio has to be 100 against to .01 for the buttons.......
