How do I install Battlefield 2 without the malware?

[stinkytaco]

I want to check out a couple of mods, but i do not want gamespy to install.

Anyone know a trick to do this? I just want to install the game, not the malware.

Have you tried the steps laid out here (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1045781). (Do note that I cannot tell if this method prevents Comrade from running or if it prevents it from installing).
