    I didn't notice any slow downs, but I was concerned with what information they might be collecting, so I uninstalled it again.

    :eek: hm, this morning had to do "system restore", not sure WHICH site or WHY, but computer slowed right down, wouldn't go into Synovate properly (running itself round and round in circles), they were famous last words of mine/ anyway running ok now, i think, or maybe its not, . . .. no more famous last words for me.

    Meanwhile, fat cheese is saving pennies for me and if , you want to refer me horsechestnut please do.:wink:

    Yeah totally agree with everyones comments above. I was asked to download it (I think it was part of a Lightspeed Survey). It all worked fine to begin with but then everything started to slow down and my laptop would quite often freeze up completely. I've had to totally reinstall my laptop but since the download has gone everything has gone back to normal.
