| 469372 | 2006-07-08 05:40:00 | For want of something better to do I installed a game called the merry frog from a mag. cover disk. It wasn't much interest, but when I tried to uninstall it I found it had installed a load of spam called "Whenu Save". This program would not be un-installed by conventional means. Trying to uninstall it produced a message that I had agreed to allow it on my computer in exchange for getting the merry frog FREE. If I agreed to that it must have been in very small print in the EULA. Got rid of it with the aid of registry mechanic and spybot. After removing all registry entries spybot still found 11 references to it. And this was after removing all it's files manually. So SAVEU have been sent a vert rude e-mail and will not be in any doubt about what I think of them. |
