I originally created Gimpshop, but I'm not the jerk who owns that domain and added adware & spyware to the source. Sorry about that. I hate that this guy is out there making my fun little project into an abomination.
Thanks for clarifying - I always suspected this to be the case, but I wasn't sure.
Man, that sucks. Do you have a project site for your real source code?
I don't have a project site for it. I became discouraged after this whole ordeal and I let it slip away into obscurity. Also, when I put Gimpshop out there, I didn't really know how to code, so updating the source to stay current was a huge undertaking for me. Since then, I've become a self taught programmer. I know Ruby fairly well. I've built a couple of non-trivial Rails sites and within the last 6 months, I published my first iOS app. Gimpshop was a fun little 'prank' that got bigger than I ever expected. Sad what it has become, though.
I registered only to warn everyone even do not try gimpshop - it will install findwide mailware.
Seriously... it's been years. You'd think people stop recommending it.
I'm glad you posted that before I installed it.
Every time someone posts about this I always see some post complaining about it. I therefore wouldn't suggest it even if I personally haven't tried it.
