From: Twayne on 18 Dec 2009 18:19 As always, drivers should ONLY be downloaded from the manufacturer's web site. Even Microsoft screws up the driver situation more often than is any way acceptable, even for their own products. That's a bad omen though; they shouldn't be messing with trying to provide anyone with drivers.

Asking for trouble if using it Yeah, had you avoided the need to add your second para, I wouldn't have felt the need to tell you how screwed up you are and how ignorant it is of you to make such statements that ALL are the same color! I'd have given it a pass, but ... obviously you hope to have issued troll bait, but other than this response, I haven't the need to fart around with your closed minded, malicious and otherwise ignorant statements. You've already been cubby-holed by most thinking people. I used to consider you fairly knowledgeable but this libelous vendetta of yours has ruined any credibility you may have ever had.

Perhaps you meant the > garbageware from www.uniblue.com. Hmm, interesting. There was something there day before yesterday I think it was, and they did admit it was a 3rd party program. Not now though. I guess that answers my question: Thanks. Apparently I wasn't the only one to chastise WinZip for promoting what I considered spam. OTOH I've usually found their recommendations to be not be far off the mark so it piqued my interest to research it a bit. I don't see anything about it either, now. As a longtime winzip user I'm pretty disappointed in them. I only went as far as checking Robtex and Spamcop.net and Google for a reputation on Uniblue and they looked clean, prompting me to ask here about it since time was at a premium. Additionally I noticed they'd been around since 2004 so they weren't new to the scene. And yes, in reality it was the "garbageware" from uniblue.com, as you called it. I'll paste the e-mail I received at the end of this post, just in case it does anyone any good as a warning. You'll note it does sound like a carny worker's spiel; normally that would have turned me off, but like I said, I was in a hurry (and still am damn it!). At first I thought the Headers must be forged, etc., but parsing and lookups came out fine; everything pointed to no forgeries. At least as far as I could find at the time. So now I think it's just a good forgery, not a goodmail I guess. I can't find any forgery but ... . At any rate, I can see there's no reason to look any further at them. It's not that I need their program, it's more a curiousity and I do keep my eyes open for controversial applications. They're almost always shams but occasionally there will be a gem among them<g>.

I have tried at least a dozen registry cleaners/optimizers/compactors/ compressors/defragmenters/remove unnecessary thingers. What kind of testing and analysis would you do if you had the time? |
