| 1122410 | 2010-07-26 04:24:00 | I see PC World is still promoting Ashampoo software in its August DVD. Well in my experience that outfit is nothing but a @#$% nuisance. About 6 months ago tried one of their products – think it was a disk burning one – it froze the computer. Even worse was that had to sign up with them and despite repeated attempts cannot now get rid of their spam emails. So just a warning – from my experience! |

Things I avoid: Nero Norton / Symantec Daemontools Nvidia Firewall Different versions of Nvidia drivers To name a few. All of these can screw a system up / make it crash |

| 1122412 | 2010-07-26 05:09:00 | I Use Ashampoo writing software all the time, even on customers PC's - the biggest problem people have is not knowing how to use it. The only time I get lots of mails from them is If I forget to untick the boxes requesting it when installing. If you dont want the mails, then block them. On average I may get a promotion mail once or twice a month. As for lock ups -- usually caused by trying to use other programs at the same time, the PC not really powerful enough, and/or trying to burn to fast. Nero is one hell of a lot worse for lockups and more of a system hog :yuck: |

| 1122413 | 2010-07-26 05:52:00 | Ashampoo software is normally great to use, I don't get their emails very often and when I do it goes straight to my spam anyway. Are you sure that it was off the PC World disk? 'cause it might of had a virus or something. BTW I can't think of any "foul language" that fits into that sentence and makes sense (100%) that is 4 characters long ;) |

| 1122415 | 2010-07-26 06:47:00 | Never had a prob with the Ashampoo stuff, infact SWMBOs laptop has ashampoo office on it, best little office program I have used, it does everthing she needs and it is snappy on an elderly laptop | Morgenmuffel (187) | ||
| 1122416 | 2010-07-26 22:16:00 | Can't say i've ever had a problem with Daemon Tools, i find them very useful. But I did try Ashampoo CD/DVD burner once & it was pretty average. ImgBurn is far superior :D |
