Re: So you wanna' know why I don't want to install Comcast's CD?

I wonder which software poses a bigger risk?

An ISP's install disk or your average p2p software everyone seems to be running these days.

And if you download some software from someone you don't know, how safe is that executable file?

Pretty safe assuming you know the rough file size and aren't one of the morons who downloads a 2KB .exe file. After that you can scan it. It is actually quite safe.

The self activation thing has been worthless for me in past experiences, but i've been able to activate using »https://actsvr.comcastonline.com/Comcast···home.cmd without installing any additional software. Note that you would need to be behind the walled garden for that page to display correctly.
