    "Excellent, but what is the fuss of Baidu? And Chinese?"

    June 26, 2012  |   By ronnietse

    Pros

    Very easy to use, 100% working, many file types, drag and drop interface.

    Cons

    At the end of the installation all text turned into Chinese characters which is meaningless. I see 4 checkboxes checked, and I can make out Baidu toolbar. I quickly unchecked all checkboxes and started the program. It was in Chinese. I dug into the Language menu (which I had to find by trial and error) to set it to English. My OS is Win7 64bit English.

    I agree entirely...Chinese characters, lack of clear help subjects including the language settings, and the sly installation of a toolbar I had no need for, meant that this was installed, then quickly uninstalled, then to be on the safe side, a System Restore was done. [I always create my own manual restore point BEFORE downloading software that I'm a bit dubious about]...a cleanup was then done with CCleaner. I DID NOT like it at all.
