for anyone who has downloaded the latest divx codec (5.1.1) complete with divx player, you're probably aware that you can only download the free version if it comes with adware, which is so dodgy a spamming tool that it makes realplayer's nightmarish takeover functions look like a pleasant memory.
happily, there's a dead easy way to remove it. just go to add/remove programs (assuming you're running windows), look for the program called "divx adware", and uninstall it. it's as simple as that! no damage is done to the player itself, but those annoying popups are gone for good.
although a fair number of users will probably have worked this out for themselves, given the occasional user queries we get, it thought it best to err on the safe side.
anyway, happy decoding!

nothing is certain. maybe.
