Version: Abee Mp3 Duplicates Finder 2.5
"They misrepresent free trial"
Pros: It might have worked, it marked a lot of files. After I spent almost 3 hours finetuning the search and picking what I wanted removed, it removed them from being visible. The program however informed me it would not ACTUALLY delete them till purchase.
Cons: I now have over 1G of files I cant see floating around on my hard drives, and the only way to finish removing them is to buy the product. I wouldnt buy it now if you paid me to. Sounds underhanded to me.
Summary: Bottom line, it tries to show you what it can do, then moves files so you HAVE to buy their program, which I was going to do til I saw I still had the other files. Had no problem putting up with the annoying (very annoying!!) nag screen during initial run, but then the company did that. Now I have to find something to finish the job, because I REFUSE to pay a company with mafioso like tendencies.
Updated on Oct 5, 2008I found it if you actually look on your harddrive, there are files with nonsense names that cannot be read. Those are the files the program has partially hidden. Delete them, and they are gone and you get your hard drive space back. Those that said their files were now nonsense were probably trying to play the half deleted files. It workds though, I just tested it.
