The system it was installed on runs Windows 2000 SP4. This program however wants to install the Yahoo! searchbar (even when unchecked during setup), and a few other things; also it wants to contact several sites (www.app-zilla.com being just one) that don't have anything to do with the program. Then, as a cherry on top of this cake: It wouldn't run because a l;ibary (DLL) was missing or could not be found. No need to say that this program was removed as fast as it was installed (even faster!!!).system is running an anti-spyware scan now, and will run a anti-virus scan immediately afterwards. My advise: Stay away from it! BTW: BitDefender Free did NOT pick up a virus, neither during installing the program, nor afterwards! When I scanned the Setup exe, my Linux Avast warned me for Win32:Adware-gen [Adw] in the executable. BTW2: Both scans came out clean!
