A must have for those of us who like the challenge of manually defeating bugs [ever browsed through your registry because you were bored?] Should go into the Spyware removal section.

Okay, um... this is directed at no one in particular, I'm just justifying my comment that death is a reasonable alternative to installing MusicMatch Jukebox.
[rant]
MusicMatch Jukebox is the worst of the worst in Windows applications, it is the very symbol of what coders should ardently seek not to do, but what else could you possible expect from Yahoo? Yahoo is among the group of companies that produce menial, poorly produced software which is somehow regarded with legitimacy. MusicMatch Jukebox is down among WildTangent, 180solutions or Gator.
It consumes more memory playing a simple .mp3 file than Windows Media Player does playing NTSC (720x480) uncompressed, .avi video. Not only that, but while Windows Media Player runs but a single process, MusicMatch Jukebox adds SEVEN processes to your total count. That is correct, SEVEN PROCESSES. 7. VII. That's SEVEN times as many as Windows Media Player. Did I mention that it takes SEVEN processes?
*cough*
Yahoo can't make good software. They're trying to knock off good, stable stuff from Google and Microsoft, and they can't even compete. On a side note, then there's Adobe, who makes super-efficient video and digital art software, and fail miserably at making a piece of software which reads .pdf files with any semblance of efficiency.
