    "No uninstaller- files spread out over Hard Drive"

    March 26, 2012  |   By LizetteDM

    Pros

    It does what it claims.

    Cons

    It has no uninstaller and files are spread out over your hard disk. The main executable disappears after your trial and can only be found by doing a search. If the author wanted us to remove the software why hide it after it's trail time was over?

    I have yet to figure out how to uninstall all bits of this software. Don't know if it is harmful but it sure is suspect.

    Summary

    Not sure how it got the rating from cnet, but it is not user friendly when it comes to uninstall. Maybe something to worry about.

    for some reason, maybe the one you just mentioned, trendmicro's housecall fingered this program as a trojan. maybe that answers your question.
