my wife loves to watch movies on the internet (free). When ever she goes to those website, next thing the PC will get full of spyware and adware. I will have over 100 I.E windows open trying to sell me some thing.

IMHO I'm afraid that it is time for a cold install or the purchase of a new PC. The PC clearly has a viral "root kit" which is by-passing the virus scanners. DO NOT use this PC for Internet Banking or Email under any circumstances. IMHO it is compromised beyond repair (except a cold install).

After you have spent the time and money rebuilding your computer or buying a new one, compare the cost with renting videos or going to a legitimate "free" movie download site (if such a site actually exists?).

I would expect "on demand" movie downloads to be chargeable as distinct from say BBC IPlayer where you can download a recently broadcast movie providing that you have a TV licence.

qc2movie(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       qc2movie(1)

NAME

     qc2movie -- Quartz Composer export tool

SYNOPSIS

     qc2movie inCompositionPath|repositoryCompositionIdentifier outMoviePath width height duration [--parameterKey1 value1 ...]

DESCRIPTION

     qc2movie is a tool that exports a Quartz Composer composition into a QuickTime movie by adding a track containing this composition. It is the
     command line equivalent of exporting a composition for the Quartz Composer application to a QuickTime movie.

OPTIONS

     inCompositionPath|repositoryCompositionIdentifier
			   specifies which composition you want to export. Ar inCompositionPath is the path to the composition. Ar reposito-
			   ryCompositionIdentifier is the identifier of a composition which lies in the Quartz Composer Repository.

     outMoviePath	   specifies movie file path to which the composition will be exported to

     width		   defines the width of the export movie

     height		   defines the height of the export movie

     duration		   defines the length of the export movie

     [--parameterKey1 value1 ...]
			   passes composition specific parameters through the command line tool to the composition

EXAMPLES

     -To create a 10 second QuickTime movie containing a Quartz Composer track of the Particle System composition:
	      qc2movie "/Developer/Examples/Quartz Composer Compositions/Particle Systems/Particle System.qtz" ~/example.mov 640 480 10

     -To merge two video tracks (30s each) together using an image transition protocol abiding composition (Swing for example) in the Quartz
	      Composer Repository (using its identifier: /swing):
	      qc2movie /swing ~/merged-example.mov 640 480 60 --inputMoviePath1 ~/firstVideo.mov --inputMoviePath2 ~/secondVideo.mov --duration 2

     -To apply an image filter protocol abiding composition to the video track of a movie:
	      qc2movie /colorpencil ~/effect-example.mov 640 480 30 --input ~/Video.mov
