Installs A Ton of Adware
byron418- Pros
- It's a fun program to work with, admittedly, but not enough to make up for the negative.
- Cons
- Adware and messes with your browser settings and your audio and video settings.
- Summary
- As others have pointed out, this comes bundled with a bunch of adware and the terms and conditions are deceptive in how they're presented, making it look like you're repeatedly accepting to install Hammerhead when you're actually accepting the installation of all these other programs as well. Not only that, but this software completely messed up my audio and video playback to the extent that I had to do a system restore to get them back to normal.
simple, easy to use drum machine
bawbagskud- Pros
- easy to use
- Cons
- limited interface
- Summary
- this does work on newer versions of windows, just open as administrator and press enter when the black box appears until a dotted line appears around the "groovy" then click it, then it should work
Bad Software came with it!
johnmorris12- Pros
- I downloaded something altho I couldn't get HammerHead up and running, plus I got some software that took over my browser, installed a toolbar and other goodies.
- Cons
- Adds bad software to your computer
- Summary
WARNING! Unwanted stuff will be installed.
BudJillett- Pros
- None. None. Ten characters.
- Cons
- Installed 6 other toolbars/programs I did not want or ask for. Usually with there is an obvious way to de-select such "options." Wiped out my browser home page. Difficult to get rid of the toolbar. WARNING! Took 20 minutes to uninstall all the unwanted garbage. Hopefully nothing else was installed that I can't see.

Works in Win-7 x64 FYI:apply admin in properties
XxAzionxX- Pros
- None, this is just for great demo's!
- Cons
- Since the guy that made Hammerhead was hired by Steinberg the development og Hammerhead never updated, the Steinberg program that I'm interested in that he made was called BeatBox.
- Summary
- I've been using Hammerhead Shark since Win 98 and it works in newer Windows only if you apply the Run as Administrator tab in properties. Don't run without checking the box, right click the hammerhead icon---properties---check, run as administrator.
just not what I am looking for
iDzynes- Pros
- it might work for you, if not there's so many better options out there at an affordable price
- Cons
- did not use this for more than a half hour
- Summary
- I would rather pay for something a little more commercially available, much better options out there.
