Horrid - Version: 5.0, 7/31/2008 10:17PM PST

arteest103--2008

Yesterday I got my computer back from the shop. It's only the second time in 15 years I've had to take it in. IC did a real number on my system--inserted things into folders, showed hidden folders, basically rendered my computer unusable with a constantly reappearing warning message that not only wouldn't go away but kept me from using anything else on the computer. The tech who fixed it said it is a very common complaint with this software. I read the warnings pre-download but hoped my experience would be different. I actually had a good experience for almost a year. I don't know of another software package with the kinds of features IC had. As I said, it worked pretty well. Coincidentally(?), I downloaded iTunes 7.7 before the problems began and lots-o-people had problems with that version of iTunes.

Identity Theft - Version: 5.0, 5/29/2008 06:10AM PST

I downloaded 5.0 cleanup and ran the system. A day later I received an alert on my credit -- I checked the report and my identity had been used to open credit accounts.

Now, maybe a coincidence, but the date of the download of software coincided with my identity being stolen. I've contacted FTC, police, and credit bureaus then contacted Smith Micro to find out if this has been a problem before--the only response was "would you like your money back." I said well, yes, but I'd like to know if there's going to be an investigation into this...the customer service rep said she "would report this to the webmaster." That was the end of the conversation. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this?

DO NOT INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE. IT IS REALLY, REALLY BAD - AND VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE.
