I just installed the Ad Adware SE and it found 238 hits of known Data-mining,
aggressive advertising, Parasites, Scumware, selected traditional Trojans,
Dialers, Malware, Browser hijackers, and tracking components.

reason why certain chess programs were NOT reaching its maximum depth search
within a reasonable time.
