Review by ChristineMM

I received this program through the Amazon Vine program. It came with a license to use it on three computers. My husband and I were both impressed with what the program said it could do. It sounded too good to be true. We installed it on two desktop PCs and one laptop.

All the computers were slowed down to a snail’s pace. Starting up the computer took at least three minutes (and seemed like a lifetime). Opening each program took so long, minutes to open an application! Opening my (popular) email application and waiting for the download to happen took forever. The process by which it scans each email for viruses apparently takes a lot of time. To cope I’d end up opening the program, walking away and returning later to read the email.

Even using the computer doing simple tasks like changing to view the email program to use a word processing program was very difficult. I’d click on the other application and it would pause and nothing would move, then a minute or two later the screen would finally react. Flipping from one Internet browser to another would have long pauses and it wouldn't go'. Before installing this program I could flip to different Internet browser windows with immediate results. Trying to open new programs such as a spreadsheet program took forever and the cursor didn't seem to react, so I'd click on the icon again. In the end sometimes I'd end up with three of the programs open and ready to run.<br /><br />I had the worst experience with using a (popular) photo altering program. That program kept locking up.<br /><br />The long time that it took to access different programs and to switch from viewing the Internet to the word processor made the most basic computer work painstaking and time consuming. It was ridiculous. I have not experienced a computer being this way since the early 1990s when I was accessing the Internet through dial-up! To cope with the computer being this way, I took to reading something on paper while I waited for the system to catch up so I could do whatever it was that I was trying to do.<br /><br />Also when starting up the system each day I'd get an urgent message that there was a problem! Guess whatthe problem’ was? I had new documents that needed backing up. Give me a break–that is no urgent or emergency situation.

We were so happy to uninstall this from all of our computers. Now are computers are back to normal.

We did spend quite a lot of time installing this program and then uninstalling it. What a waste of time this was. I can’t believe how poor this program is, I’m really surprised.

If I had paid money for this I’d be irate about it! I got it free from the Amazon Vine program so all that was wasted was our time.
