-pops- Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 If it works, it could be very useful.In my experience, few people bother to read the EULA and many don't even know what one is as they're so keen to install their new software that they just click away regardless to get the thing on their machine ASAP.I do read EULAs and I've seen (and avoided) some very dodgy ones in the past - mostly from freeware but also from things that you would think respectable.

-pops- Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Does it analyse its own EULA before it installs itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I created a Restore point and installed it. I then downloaded a program that I did not want and would not have gone all the way through installing. I told the program to scan and received an error message. I have now uninstalled it and done a System Restore. That's it as far as I am concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
