you can always try kazza, but you must be very sure that you have the latest version of anti-virous softwear, that play is full of that junk. good luck.

??? divx plugin is free!!

you were looking at the program to ENCODE divx. the codec for watching divx is free.

when you install the package, just install the plugin, not the player.

the first time you play an avi or mpg file encoded in divx, WMP will say that the file does not match the type. just say play anyway, and click the checkbox that says "do not ask again for this extension"

ive never installed the new version, but the old version contains no adware if you just install the codec and not the player.

you probably could still get the old version from download.com

should be version 3.x or 4.x
