If I could have rated it a negative star, I would have. I had problems from the start with this program. When I contacted their technical support I got no help and they finally just blew me off. I wouldn't own anything else from Individual Software even if I was paid to. What a crappy experience.

PLEASE...save yourself the headache! Read version7 reviews and decide for yourself if you really have the time to deal with such a program or company.

I've sent Individual all the links about their customers' experience. I don't think it will do any good but I think they should know the percentage of people writing negative reviews on their products.

My next site to "update" will be Cnet and Consumer Reports (if they have a section for something like this).

Avoid this program at all costs. I will update you all if they EVER reply to my e-mail. However, I will not hold my breath.

I have never used any software that was worse than this. It plain does not work. It is junk.
