Funshion

 Many varieties of common/popular software designed here, are programmed with spyware/malware functions in them from the devs themselves. The "Funshion" mentioned in this thread is just one example. Desgined to be adware/malware by the company itself, and unrelated to other worms/viruses/etc. found on the net.
Speaking of which, the reason these other issues are so noticeable is that China is the world's capital for such malevolent internet activity (if that wasn't already blatantly obvious).

Any Funshion users noticed that it's stopped working over the past week? Doesn't seem to want to connect to the site.

Not for me. Just watched an episode on it this afternoon.

Yeah, I've been unable to connect for about that long.

No problems here - using it continuously for several months.

After I wrote that it started to work again the next day. I use a computer as a media server to my TV and download most things first but Funshion streams well and has many movies and shows very quickly. The Walking Dead comes out with English and Chinese subtitles the same day as the broadcast.

Nice that you can search in English.
