Just a warning for friends of mine using Windows… If you use iTunes for Windows and come across people mentioning a “plugin” for it called BadApple which purports to add Podcast support right into iTunes, don’t install it.

Well, maybe install it, but read this post which I made to first.

This is not a “plugin” and it’s borderline malicious software. While it appears to do what’s claimed, it’ll also make a good number of unintended changes to your machine.

      I wish I knew… It’s written in python, so it shouldn’t be too hard to see what the app does, but it isn’t possible to decompile the installer, and that runs a script which could do some really nasty things. It already makes some fairly drastic changes to a user’s machine.
