Version: Ozum 4.02

"Horrible program"

by maynardkrebs on July 6, 2006

Pros: None

Cons: I have no idea why anyone likes this program. It's the worst POC I've seen in a long long time.

The program installs data into C:
ewsdata. (What the hell kind of program does that?... maybe some old DOS thing). Then when you tell it to move the data to another location with the so called "wizard", it copies it instead and orphans the old data. It also puts data into the "hidden" Local Settings folder in the User profile. (Why no just put it all in one place in the user profile?)

None of this gets removed in program uninstall. I had to manually search and cleanup this mess. Really, really lame and unprofessonal.

I'm going back to NewsBin Pro. I should have never snooped around anyways.
