Pros
None at all

Malware-laden
Summary
This forcibly installs several evil browser addons that YOU DO NOT WANT on your system.

"Still has malware attached shame on CNET 12/18/2011"
Version: Cool Timer 3.7
Pros
AVG and Malwarebytes both catch the malware.
Cons
Adware,spyware, registry changes or other programs that are placed on the owners systems with subterfuge is dispicable. I am very disappointed CNET.
Summary
I understand the offering CNET provides is extremely large and the service provided for both users and developers has been until now a very pleasurable experience and free. But in the past I felt I did not have to worry about malware... now I'm not so sure. How sad, how sad.

"Now with forcibly-installed crapware"
Version: Cool Timer 3.7
Pros
v2.x was a great little app.
Cons
v3.x adds no useful features over v2.x, but installs crapware, even when un-checking the box and clicking Decline.
Summary
v3.x uninstalled. Buh-bye.

"Causes Computers to Crash"
Version: Cool Timer 3.7
Pros
It would be great if it worked. We have used earlier versions with no issues.
Cons
Has caused every computer that we have installed it on to crash and have to be reimaged.
Summary
I was so disappointed. We have used this timer in the past with no problems. I have to agree with the other reviewers, that there is a malware issue. If Harmony Hallow does not believe malware is involved then they should be responding in someway to explain what the problem is. Our IT department has had to reimage several computers. The common thresad was they recently installed Cool Timer.

"AVG reports DROPPER.GEN Uninstalled"
Version: Cool Timer 3.7
Pros
It's free.

I thought CNET and Download.com made sure not to distribute malware. I guess there's a first time for everything.

"MALWARE!!!"
Version: Cool Timer 3.7
Pros
The malware didn't literally slap me in the face.
Cons
This program effed my computer up good.
Summary
The best part was when I couldn't close any windows.

"Messed me up!"
Version: Cool Timer 3.7
Pros
Cute, liked the options.
Cons
This began loading window after window - at one count there were 43 windows open. I was finally able to restart my computer and delete Cool Timer. Now I'm going to run a scan to see what else this did. So disappointed in this - and in CNET.
Summary
Hope someone fixes this!
