What Happened to all the Free Post Processors?
Jan 20, 2018 01:51:38 #
C-Net has taken them all over, and has front-loaded the downloads with WinTonic - for which there's a $30 monthly fee, which is automatically taken out of your credit/debit card account, every month. It's quite a racket, isn't it? ... Anyone know of anything which has escaped this thievery, so far, and remained pristine?

Gimp, perhaps.
No, sir, Shoe ... Gimp has also fallen under the clutches of C-Net ... which means - WinTonic becomes your first step in accessing GIMP ....

Just downloaded Gimp 2.8.2.2 for no charge, and installed it.
It was an 85MB file,

Not when I tried, Richard ... they redirected me to Wintonic ... and as it was downloading, the message came up about it costing $29.95 per month ....

Thanks, Richard ... that link just dropped out, though ... maybe the file's too big ....

Do a google search on Wintonic (that may be why you are being redirected.).
Have a good virus checker and removal tool.

Why search for Wintonic? ... I have no want or need for it.
I do have a perfectly good virus checker and removal tool ... 360 ... does maintenance, too ...
I don't NEED another one ....

Ask yourself why are you being redirected to Wintonic.

What is Wintonic? If you want GIMP then go to GIMP.org you can download it there. I just downloaded it to test. Just got my first digital camera today. I think I would subscribe to the Photoshop CC.

It appears to be a virus or a program that contains a virus - I don't want it.

WinTonic, itself - is a virus?
And C-Net springs it on you, and tells you you will be charged $29.95 a month for using it?
Now ... THAT's a racket!!!!!
