I would be wary of anything that requires you to install software on your computer unless you absolutely trust the source.

I got the invitation a few days ago and installed the software on my second machine (not used for anything that requires me to reveal my real details). So far, all I have noticed is that the software seems to keep on crashing judging by the messages that Chrome gives me.

Going to give it a week or so and then dump it if I don't seem to be getting anything out of it.

Did you get your £3 for joining and can you withdraw the money straight away or do you have to wait for it to accumulate There isnt really much info on the website about this. Do you get more money every week or month etc.
Im thinking i might join and see how it goes and if i dont like it ill stop it but will I still get my £3 out of it?

To be honest, I've been busy with other things since I installed the software so I haven't logged into the site yet to check on the £3.

Update on this.

I checked my account yesterday and the £3 joining payment is showing up as £0, so I have emailed their support to find out what is going on.

Looked at the withdrawals and the minimum withdrawal is about a tenner for an Amazon voucher. If you want cash then its about 20 quid for PayPal.
