  • It's fine to download the plugin. Artistscope is a well know package for viewing files and their plugin is available through several trustworthy sites. One thing to note is that if your using Trend anti-virus it may pick it up as being a trojan virus but this has been confirmed by Trend as a false positive meaning although it says it's a virus it isn't.

    I trust Pinecone but I checked it out before I downloaded it. Not a nasty.

    I have downloaded it too but when I went into the survey it just said 'thanks, no more questions' or words to that effect. I presume it was just to register to pinecone that you had done it.

    Has anyone downloaded the new plug in pinecone have sent out? I havent installed it yet as I don't like installing things I don't know about on my comp. It seems if you don't download it you cant do the surveys with them. This is part of the email

    As a member of PineCone Research, you will be asked to participate in studies with a new product picture format.
    Please use the attached link to find out more and begin the test. The process will take less than a minute and checks your system to see if you are able to receive the new picture format. You will be prompted to download ArtistScope’s CopySafe Web plug-in in order to view the new picture format. AFTER DOWNLOADING THE PLUG-IN, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO LOG IN TO THE SURVEY AFTER THE DOWNLOAD IS COMPLETE.

    After downloading this and restarting the pc I'm getting dns error on internet explorer a lot of the time. It has got to do with this download. If I go back with the arrow it will go to the page sometimes but not all the time, its constantly doing this. I didnt download the plugin to firefox and no problem with that
    Thanx

    I have been a member of Pinecone for a while and used to get a survey around once a month but I've not had any now since July and wondered if any one else was in the same boat? I have emailed Pinecone to check everythings ok but haven't had a reply (2 weeks ago).

    Anyone else have problems?

    Coming regularly for me.
