When something doesn’t meet your expectations, when it falls short by some distance of what it originally promised, it is easy to feel a little despondent. When it actually doesn’t fall short, but proves itself to be a complex web of evil lies and deceit then you feel downright hostile.

Ares Destiny has some very dark secrets to hide, and I feel a little hostile towards it for not revealing them to me before. I have been sucked in by false promises only to be battered over the head by its dark accomplice.

What am I talking about? Well, I am referring to the fact that Ares Destiny – a fairly new entrant onto the file sharing market – comes bundled with some rather nasty spyware called Dealio. When I say ‘bundled’ I actually mean that Dealio sneaks in as you’re trying innocently to install Ares Destiny. In fact Ares Destiny runs through your system and opens the bathroom window to let it in without you knowing.

Ares Destiny is a fairly good piece of software – it’s not at a stage where it’s beating winners like Ares Vista just yet, but it has potential – so it’s difficult for me to accept this slap in the face.
