Summary
I am not going to bag the program itself i dont have a problem with it . What annoyed the hell out of me was the fact it does not come with an uninstaller and is a bloody pain to remove . I had to boot another operating system to remove files. There are registry entries that cannot be removed, even manually . so if you intend to just run the trial and decide you dont want to keep it, be warned you will have trouble getting it off your system !
