Anyone care to list (or privately email) a source for unmodded files for someone who was not smart enough to save them?

If VALVe decides to ban my account, then so be it. No more CS for me. CS with ads is out of the question. So its either removing them, or not play at all. The fix works like a charm, together with de_dust2_noads, all problems solved.
