Also, I said "wanted."
Are you telling me you want your programs with ads in them?

Believe it or not, yes... there are a couple of people out there who have downloaded ICQ. One or two have downloaded Real Audio as well.
I even use Eudora at home. It has an ad in the bottom corner.
I know it'll come to you as a shock, but not everyone wants to pay for the programs they download. Sometimes, they'd rather it just work and be free.
Therefore, the companies combat this buy selling advertising within the program itself to compensate for lack of revenue while handing it out for free.
It's called being in business.
