Nagware

I've been testing a Samsung N220 netbook for the past few days. It has far too much pre-installed crapware and time-bomb software for me and my full review in the newsletter will provide details.

The biggest pain in the "bleep" to me is the Phoenix Fail Safe app. An install dialog box keeps popping up and I have to tell it to not continue with the installation. The software isn't listed in the Programs and Features of Win7 so how do you uninstall it? I went to the company's web site and found out the software has been acquired and they are sending out refunds to subscribers.

Let's see.... the software can't be uninstalled and the company that created the nagware is gone. What a bunch of crap!!!
