what internet conspiracy? we simply choose NOT to have our main working computers connected to the internet, to absolutely minimise the chance of infection.

i cannot speak for others, but i scan everything with several apps before it gets allowed on my main rig.

if DAZ3D go the virtualisation route ( ie 'app store' style content delivery) i for one will buy no more content from you. not if it means having to repackage everything to make it usable on my working rig.

i would prefer zips, but installers are usable, as long as they are not stupid app installers like they are currently. they are a veritable click-fest now. taking 4 times as long to use as those 3/4 versions ago.
