• Installs A Ton of Adware

  byron418October 23, 2013

  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.

  bawbagskudJuly 11, 2013

  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

• WARNING! Unwanted stuff will be installed.

  BudJillettJanuary 15, 2013

  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

  XxAzionxXAugust 2, 2012

  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.

  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.
