keyfinder without junkware?
Hi All,
I just installed Magik Jelly Bean keyfinder on a customer's computer. I like it because I can copy and paste the information off it. I don't like it because I have to unuinstall that IDIOT AVG Toolbar. Anyone have a favorite keyfinder WITHOUT THE S***Ware? Many thanks, -T |

The Open Candy offerings are easy to avoid if you just pay attention. Anyone have a favorite keyfinder WITHOUT THE S***Ware? |

Anyone have a favorite keyfinder WITHOUT THE S***Ware? 1+ on the slow down and 1+ on the sneakier. :'( To get rid of the S***Ware on Jelly Beans Keyfinder, you have to run "Custom" install. Run "Typical" and you will say some words not so kind. S***Ware is truly getting sneakier. |

So, why get paid for one piece of S***Ware when you can get paid for TWENTY! I call it a S***WARE BOMB. Sounds like your Lady set one off by accident. When I find a customer that had a S***Ware bomb go off, their computer is next to unusable. (I try not to laugh, but don't always succeed.) -T |
