This is junk. Realplayer should understand that users do not like programs "phoning home" many times a day. Disabling has no effect, but it will reinstall itself at the first opportunity. I wish we didn't need Real - but they've done a good job of making it so that it is still necessary.... I've never had good luck with the 'Real Alternatives'....
