I had consider Onspeed a good product, hence using it for 3 years.
Today my opinion changed when I downloaded the new version.
Onspeed had always given the option of installing the Yahoo toolbar,
which I have always declined, as I use Google and want some say over my
computer. Unfortunately this time there was no option to accept or
decline and I found the Yahoo toolbar installed and sitting on my
computer and also a 'Best Loans' button. I tried to uninstall it and
eventually found it could only be hidden.
I contacted Onspeed informing of my annoyance and the invasion of my
computer with unsolicited software. I was told "its part of the Onspeed
software...you cannot uninstall it...just hide it".
I have since discovered that the new version of the Yahoo browser will
not allow you to upgrade without also installing Norton Anti Virus so
it's not just On Speed using such a policy.
At approximately R300 per annum it is only fair to warn users prior to
downloading and therefore I will not renew my subscription.
