The product seemed to work but my firewall started reporting constant attempts by the software to communicate with the internet which I found, franky suspicious and annoying. I found myself suspecting that it had some spyware elements built into it, and for this reason I uninstalled it quickly. That is when I began to get very bothered and annoyed as my firewall continued to report that this software program was attempting to use my browser to communicate with the internet. I mean, Geez!
I finally reinstalled my browser to stop this from happening anymore.
It's too bad, the interface seemed to work fairly well, even though it wa annoying how some of the most basic elements that anyone would want to control in it had been disabled. This means that for even the most average of users, you retain more options and control over the selection of items in your start menu, and how it operates, by simply sticking with the origianl start menu which comes with windows.
My conclusion is that this is the kind of software that finally found me deciding, a long time ago, to be happy with what I've got, and not waste my time downloading and installing software toys which just as likely will inflict me with unwanted spy programs and other problems which in the end, make my computing experience more annoying.
