1.0 out of 5 stars Still getting Spammed, July 14, 2003

Carol O'Brien (Worcester, Massachusetts United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Safeworld: Spam & Pop-Up Blocker (CD-ROM)

I purchased this software hoping to eliminate the sexually oriented pop-ups that I keep seeing on my desktop PC. After I installed it, it did nothing but slow up my log-in. I didn't understand the activation process; it appeared that it was asking me to subscribe to a monthly service in order to stop the pop-ups (which confused me because that's what I though this software was for. The pop-ups keep coming.

I e-mailed for support (not 24/7 for calls) and was requested to send them a diagnostic report following their instructions and using a utility that was included. I did that and sent it back to them, and I'm still waiting to hear back.

Surely there must be a better deal than this out there.

I never got this program to work. I have emailed Safeworld twice in four weeks and have not received any type a response. What a waste of $30!!!!

This review is from: Safeworld: Spam & Pop-Up Blocker (CD-ROM)

This Spam and Pop-Up Blocker product is bad. It only cut in half the amount of pop-ups. It refuses to allow any gameplay whatsoever. Like a virus, it cannot be removed. Technical support is non-existant. You and your computer would be better off burning your money as opposed to buying any Safeworld product.
