My girlfriend has been watching TV series with the website.

[http://www.projectfree.tv/](http://www.projectfree.tv/)

There are apparently movies as well. I’m in Iraq now and the IT gods frown on streaming stuff, big downloads, all the fun stuff so I can’t check it out.

She says there are a bunch of ads you have to go through to get to the show (some of which involve meeting young attractive women for “dates”). I’m a suspicious guy - malware, spyware, etc…

Anyone use this site? What’s the straight dope?

Goggling, it seems innocuous with no flaming comments.

There are hundreds of these free movie/tv sites on the net. Most of them fall foul of the copyright laws and I’m pretty sure this one is no exception.

Thanks, more searching doesn’t seem to indicate it’s a malware problem which was my primary worry.

Sorry should have read the OP more carefully.

Yeah some of these sites use Zango but I can’t find anything nasty on this one.
