If you can't uninstall it....

It's Malware/spyware. If it's legitimately installed, and easy to uninstall, then I'm more at ease with it. All I know is it took me hours to get rid of iSearch on someone's computer, because I had to find some no-descrpt .exe that kept re-installing it whenever SpyBot killed it.

Re: If you can't uninstall it....

I agree, it is spyware (Aka crapware). Now is someone going to sue me because I agree, and I call it that? If they do I hope for their sake I can't find them. Suing anyone is not going to prove who is right or wrong, just who has more money.

Ok, how about we (as a group) go at it like this since we know who the company is; where they are; and what they are doing.

(I'm not in the legal profession, so please don't consture this as being an action you should take. I'm hoping some of the folks involved in the legal profession will step in and claify what might be achievable.)

Every time we get this software from Idownload installed (unwantedly) on our systems we file suit in small claims court asking for 2 x your hourly wages for the amount of time it took to get out of your system.

The reason for filing in small claims court; simple; in the majority of the states within the United States; the actual defendant must appear and can not be represented by legal represneation.

In most cases; (as I understand it) small claims law is generally used to force the defendant to provide restution or otherwise make whole the petitioner(s) property to what it was prior to the offence.

Considering; there is likely we would all site as the person to be served the court summons; it stands to reason he'd have a hard time being in all the required locations at the same time; hence; the person beng summoned would loose the majority of the cases because the defendant did not show up to the mandantory appear.

Now; trying to get the money from the company / person / may prove to be difficult; but that's another story.

Re: If you can't uninstall it....

Yes and No, some of that are good idea's. Like dragging them to small claims court. As far as legal representation, when I went to court against my former employer, nothing I saw denied me the right to untilize a lawyers services.

Also as far as the timing goes, most courts will reschedule if they have to be in court in another district, county, state. You will have court cases lined up between here and eternety. Also if you fail, they can counter file for lost time and wages having to come fight you.
