    Adware in a CM casino?

    I Thought I give Casino Glamour a shot, but soon as i went to install it, I got a warning it contained adware. I checked online to make sure this was not a false postive and it turns out it was not. In fact alot of people with diffirent virus checkers got warning about that group of software, even on Everest Poker which uses the same installer, I checked it out and it containes the same adware warning. I cant trust putting my money in a casino that does this. It says on there installer, no adware and yet it does have it, Dont they realise people have anti-virus programs and they would not get away with this.

    I attach screenshot.

    Whats your thoughts on this. Is this acceptable for a Accredited Casinos.

    I'm just thinking out loud here but it could be a false positive.

    Or -- yeah yeah I know, "conspiracy theory" -- some detectors deliberately give certain readings for certain applications over and above whether they actually are what the detector says they are.

    What detector were you using? Some are more reliable than others.

    I think it will be - I've been using this group of casinos for 4 years with no problems.
    If you've never played Grand Virtual before you may be in for a surprise - definitely "Marmite" software, so remember to come back and tell us if you love it or hate it!

    My AVG does this with most of my casino platforms, it's really quite annoying having to end the AVG process just to execute the (insert casino name here) launcher! It's just a false positive

    I just bought the latest nortons and on yourbehalf I done a test and downloaded the casnio hadenough- noting popped up at all.
    So if you trust that Nortons didnt pick up anything then your good to go.
