lostguy06 Posted February 12, 2011 at 02:11 AM Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 at 02:11 AM hello, I have installed QQstream in one of my computers and it is brilliant, It is much faster than youku or tudou for me(I live in France), I didn't worry about installing it in this computer because it is allready quite old and I don't use it much. I have a new laptop and I would like to install QQstream in it, but I am not too sure about this software's safety, has anybody had problems with adwares or malwares with it ? Since i've heard about those rumours concerning QQ's safety, I am a bit suspicous about those kind of softwares. thank you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted February 12, 2011 at 03:32 AM Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 at 03:32 AM I would also like to install it, and have the same concerns about its safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yezze Posted February 12, 2011 at 03:45 AM Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 at 03:45 AM I use it, and i haven't had any problems, but i am quite computer savvy, which could help with me sniffing out the good and bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted February 12, 2011 at 03:58 AM Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 at 03:58 AM Is that an actual QQ / Tencent product? If so I'd wager it may well do annoying stuff like start showing pop-up ads at some point, maybe even install a browser toolbar if it can, but it's not going to rob your bank details or anything actually criminal.

lostguy06 Posted February 12, 2011 at 12:42 PM Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 at 12:42 PM I don't think PPstream is a tencent product but I was just a little worried about it, by the way, I actually wasn't refering to ppstream but pplive I am always mixing the two up anyways I think I'll just install it and see what happens, you have to take risks in life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted February 12, 2011 at 02:12 PM Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 at 02:12 PM Please let us know how it works out. No QQ for me, but maybe PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonglin Posted February 12, 2011 at 06:23 PM Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 at 06:23 PM I use PPstream. I've found that it automatically opens an "invisible" application in the background when I start my computer, which transfers a fair amount of data (it's a P2P application after all). This is especially a concern for me when I'm using certain wireless networks with strict data quotas. As far as I can recall, this application has some quite misleading name (like "speed-up internet tool" or something similar). There might be a way to disable this function from within the program (which I haven't yet figured out, not that savvy). I just kill the process through task manager. It's a great application, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostguy06 Posted February 12, 2011 at 08:40 PM Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 at 08:40 PM yes I have tried QQstream but it didn't like it since I have french regional settings and in order to display chinese characters in PPstream I had to switch my regional settings to chinese and after that, all the french accents like é è or à wheren't displayed properly, I don't have that problem with pplive. I still haven't installed pplive in my new computer, I am still a bit affraid of messing up my OS with wierd "secondary" applications. is there an avid QQlive user to tell us if if he had any problem with it ?
