ePrompter for Windows

User Reviews

• Version 2 need a bit of 'nouse'

  December 25, 2014

  Pros

  Installed in the normal way this program is a bit of a waste of time but if installed in a folder called ePrompter in the root directory (ie c:\eprompter) it works okay but not for Gmail who seem to go out of their way to stop ePrompter. Well that about sums it up. Version 2 isn't geared up to work in the normal Windows directory. Maybe version 3 will correct this.

  Cons

  None that I can see.

  Summary

  Certainly useful and especially since it is free.

• TERRIBLE -- There are Better Programs Available

  benisthemanMarch 7, 2014

  Pros

  Absolutely no pros (Looks like Windows 95? Maybe that's a pro, if you like that kind of thing. Didn't completely destroy my system? I guess that's a pro. Nice logo? That will only get you so far. It convinced me to install it but I'm really sorry I did.) I'd give it ZERO STARS if c|net allowed it.

  Cons

  Failed to find server, the interface looks like Windows 95. Smells like malware, it's so cheap looking, it might even have security flaws, it's so poorly put together. Relies on custom screen-savers that do not seem to work, at least where I work. Complete waste of time. Nothing but regrets.

  Summary

  WARNING -- Sorry if that seems harsh. Don't waste your time on this one. This program might have potential if they do more development, but there are better programs available. Recommendations / Alternatives: #1. If you're using Chrome browser, try the Checker Plus browser extension. Set it for Text notifications that never fade from sight. That's not a system tray icon but it works, and the extension is really good. Get it in the Chrome web store. #2. If you really want a Windows system tray icon, try Gmail Notifier, from gmailnotifier.com It has a flashing icon, checks Gmail once about every 60 seconds, and has basic email capabilities (read mail, mark-as-read, delete). It can't launch the browser, but that's its only real problem.

• Eprompter is BINDED WITH A BOT !!!

  bktrussNovember 5, 2012

  Pros

  NONE - This will make you join a botnet

  Cons

  Phones home upon installation and periodically afterwards to a known C&C server (141.8.225.13) https://palevotracker.abuse.ch/?ipaddress=141.8.225.13 Virustotal shows 0/43, Anubis says it clean. This is because it is crypted to prevent Anti-virus from detecting it and it has Anti's to prevent it from executing in a virtual enviroment or a sandboxed enviroment to prevent reverse engineering. But if you install and watch the firewall logs, as soon as you install and continually afterwards it will phone home to the C&C for instructions. 16 computers in my network started a DDOS attack bogging down the whole network. We downloaded from all the third-party sites that host this and all of them do the same, so it's obvious this was done by the developer.

  Summary

  This is probably there is countless reviews of people not being able to uninstall.

• No support for Indiatimes!

  Neer_jJuly 9, 2011

  Pros

  America oriented

  Cons

  America oriented. Except for Rediff, no other non-American, non-1st world, non-white-people-type email service provider supported. Why? Hey Brasilians, South Africans and other 3rd worlders, do you see YOUR EMAIL SERVICE PROVIDER IN EPROMPTER?

  Summary

  The version available for download on CNET is of 2005, for Christ's sake!!! This is 2011! 6 year, apparently abandoned. No support for Indiatimes. Outdated, obsolete, a dinosaur in the 2nd decade of the 21st century.
