Synapse Media Player for Windows

User Reviews

• Does not work & installed SearchConduit in my browsers

  GCBehemothCatJanuary 19, 2014

  Pros

  There no pros for an application that does not boot and cannot be removed from a computer and whose installer slips malware into browsers.

  Cons

  Synapse did not work and has proved impossible to completely remove from an up to date Windows 7 system, even with Malware Bytes, CCleaner and Super AntiSpyware. Before that I had used WiseCare 365. The installer installed the malware SearchConduit.com [which was NOT offered as a special download---I declined both that appeared in the install window] as the default search engine in both FireFox and Chrome. The above programs have not helped with that either. I am re-installing both browsers in the hope that solves the problem.

  Summary

  An appalling experience with an appalling program. I used to trust downloads from CNET. This is the second time in 7 months I've had this problem after years with none. CNET you are being used for nefarious purposes. My faith in your organizational integrity is sinking fast. Half a star is too generous a rating for this rubbish.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jan 19, 2014<p/>I forgot to mention that when the player did not complete initializing I went to the company's web site looking for support. There is none--only a list of commercial links--and the Read Me doc is full of jokes. I think all the positive reviews are fakes to draw foolish people like me in. I added a complete Norton scan of entire system after uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox. It looked as though I had gotten rid of SearchConduit, but on rebooting this moorning it was back in FireFox again. I've got a Trojan almost certainly. This program and the providers should be removed from CNET.

  Pros

  Um, can't think of any pros only its a good idea gone bad.

  Cons

  I never rate anything lower than a two star, this should recieve a one star, but I give two for at least trying something new, this player is a system hog, hard to configure, doesn't run properly, stick to winamp or real player, that's your safe bet.

• Synapse Rules!!!!

  ButchPaMarch 11, 2005

  Pros

  This is innovative and COOL, and it is amusing to no end. It thinks, it knows, probably has feelings too, perhaps I will need to send it a birthday card. You will like this. These two guys that made this are very gifted.

  Cons
