"Ad/Malware comes with installation"
Version: CBR Reader 1.0
Pros
Works ok features are kind of basic and does not lend well to reading a comicbook. But it functions
Cons
I installed this and it also installed Ad/Malware. It was replacing ads on Facebook. At one point it had 10 attempts to replace/add an ad. It also rendered clicking seem more in facebook non functional until I uninstalled the ad/malware program and the new tab program. I did a custom install and it there was no option to not install the ad/malware which hindered internet browser functions.
Summary
Do not install this without proper testing. Download.cnet.com should pull this and all similar programs with secret "ninja installs" of ad ware especially ones that disrupt performance of browser or internet useage. If the program is legit it should have ads displayed when using the program and not over ride or add to internet ads. This kind of ad/malware needs to be outlawed.
I left CBR in stalled but watching to be sure the malware installs are not returning. If you do install this be sure to bring up your add/remove program window and check for unwanted installs to remove them. -
"Simple tool with no customization options"
Version: CBR Reader 1.0
Pros
Very simple and easy to use.
Provides a clear and high res image of you comics.Cons
No customization options.
Very frustration navigating you comics.
Double-clicking your .cbr only opens CBR Reader, not the actual comic.Summary
A very simple tool too read your comics, but a serious lack of customization makes it a frustrating experience reading.
I really do not recommend CBR Reader, I will uninstall it right away and try to find another better tool. -
"crapware addware"
Version: CBR Reader 1.0
Pros
I don't know, was a little skeptical once I had it downloaded.
Cons
It somehow redirected my browsers to a social addon(plugin) and tried to automatically install it. It failed to install on Firefox because it always gives you a small delay before really installing it and I quickly cancelled it. With Chrome it instantly installed it. I would stay away from this CBR Reader as much as possible. Luckily I found some safe alternatives.

"Works fine, but..."
Version: CBR Reader 1.0
Pros
Works fine, easy to use
Cons
Tries to piggyback other crapware (Funmoods) along with the software.
Summary
Why oh why do developers and computer manufacturers feel the need to include crapware, bloatware, and other annoyances along with the desired product? If I wanted Funmoods installed on my machine, I would search it out and install it myself separately... I really do not appreciate CNET and others trying to sneak this garbage under the radar on me. For that reason I'm giving this product three stars.
Otherwise it installs easily enough, works fine, and is easy to use. -
"It's A Comic Book Reader"
Version: CBR Reader 1.0
Pros
It does what it says, it will read CBR and CBZ files.
Cons
Not any so far...
Summary
If you want to be able to view those comic book files you have, then download this. It's free, what have you got to lose? 4 out of 5 Stars
By the way, this program didn't set off my Anti-virus Programs. Also, it's got a very simple User Interface. Click "File", then "Open", and you're reading that CBR file you had sitting on your Hard Drive.
