Excellent overall player with innovative ideas

Pros: This is the first player that I've used that actually figured out what codecs it needed and sent me in the right direction to download said codecs from their own website. It plays most formats, including flv, swf, and real media (an effort which only the VLC player comes close to duplicating), so I can rely on it to play all of my media.

Cons: It crashes sometimes as I'm opening files, but still it's not that frequent.

Good idea, faulty and buggy execution

Pros: It did it's task simply; you enter a password then lock or unlock... at least most of the time this is true.

Cons: It doesn't uninstall properly; basically the uninstall button is a fake and all it does is popup a message saying it's already uninstalled. After a little bit of research I figured out that I can remove it if I open it and click on Options and then it will give me an option to uninstall it. The only problem is that after I opened the program again and entered my password, I couldn't click on the OK button.

I tried this again in safe mode, and the same problem happens whether I enter the right or wrong password. And since this program is intentionally preventing itself from being removed, I'm stuck with it and since System Mechanic 7 is incompatible with it, I can't even use that program now.

Bottom line; it looked promising but they haven't cleaned up all the bugs yet and mostly focused on making it look nice, so avoid it and hide your files in windows, you're better off anyway.
