Was able to uninstall it normally – I think, although I had to stop the process first via Task Manager. Also, I was incorrect it was advertised on NPR – it was on Air America…

Wasn't going to pay any money for it - sigh - now it looks like a pain to uninstall. What a ripoff! Jim Hi Roberta,

I was curious too – figured it was safe because it was advertised on NPR – and watched in amazement as it found about 800 trivial registry errors – mostly registry keys that were missing BECAUSE I had removed some programs.

Wasn’t going to pay any money for it – sigh – now it looks like a pain to uninstall.

What a ripoff!

It has a backdoor loader built in to it, and if you don't pay/subscribe within 7 days it installs the backdoor/trojan on to your machine. Basically if you use this product, enjoy being in a bot net.
