I had this e-mail yesterday, and although I think it's a genuine invitation and pukka company, I couldn't see any advantage in joining, so will give this one a miss

i tried this a while ago and like previous posters i gave it up cos of the software causing too many probs

I too, joined some months ago, but had the same problem as klb- the software completely mucked up my PC, so I took it off again. Have just had the email again, but will pass on their invitation:D

I had it too i joined and downlaoded but my comp kept telling it was high risk virus thingy and my comp seemed to run slower so i hopefully took it off last night as i also felt like ''big brother is watching you!' syndrome .

Nielsen are not emailing directly, the company we cannot name are sending the invitation to their mailing list on behalf of Nielsen.

Ah - right; seems I misunderstood. The obfuscation threw me.

Anyone care to PM me the name of the company (assuming that's allowed)? I'm unaware of any embargo on companies on here, and this is a board I rarely frequent; it was the Nielsen name in the RSS feed that caught my attention.

TIA.

I had this email, but was wary about downloading the software, so i didnt bother.

After reading this thread, im glad i didnt

thanks for this everyone! I was going to join nielsen again (had been joined in the past) didnt get anywhere with them before and now I can see they havent really benefitted anyone (sometimes I think its me just being unlucky, now I can see I am not alone!)

I had that invite too, gave it a miss as it seems they want to know everything for next to nothing!
