    "Installs MORE than you want"

    April 28, 2011  |   By IleyP

    Pros

    Allows you to communicate with friends using Yahoo

    Cons

    Restricted to Yahoo and even if you tell the system NOT to install the toolbar or make Yahoo the new home page, it installs the toolbar anyway and then tries to move your homepage to Yahoo. Editor Reviewers who gave it 5 stars must get kickback.

    Summary

    Good if you don't mind software companies installed what THEY want on your machine. POOR if you want control of what is or isn't installed.
