Ares destiny not a free download?
Ares Destiny is one of the newer entrants on the music filesharing market with yet another implementation of the popular software Ares.
What makes Ares Destiny different from the competition? Well, the fact that the makers decided to load it with spyware and adware, for one: loading Ares Destiny onto your computer will also put Dealio on there.
Dealio is commonly sold as a “price comparison toolbar“; in actual fact it is adware that is incredibly difficult to remove from the system. If Dealio is installed then expect the usual popup-ads to appear whenever you don’t want them. This is malware of the first order.
If we can look past this major indiscretion (it is not advised that you do overlook this, but hypothetically speaking, if you were) then Ares Destiny is a fine piece of software that functions adequately. The interface has a utilitarian approach to music downloads which, I feel, helps keep the whole process simple. The download process is very simple and slick and the installation process, while not the least troublesome way of going about things, is reasonably simple to follow.
But these features do not redeem Ares Destiny from its attempt to load what amounts to a computer virus: no amount of interface sexiness or trouble-free installation could redeem it
