Yeah, I've tried it.It was actually very funny pranking my victims;)It works as long as the remote computer doesn't have a firewall thingy.Which is blocking the ports that the prog. is using.But hey, if you run into some problems there is a great supportservice at the forum.Do you mean the ads on the website or in the prog. beacuse there is no ads that comes with the prog. which is great. No spyware.It might not be perfect, but if you use it right you'll get your results.
