    3.0 (Nov 5, 2008)

    i was a very loyal copernic user until 3.0.
    beware. they slipped this downgrade in sneakily. the update window is not informative and it just seems like you are getting a normal patch. no user thinks a patch will cripple their program. so i clicked ok, and was left with a crippled program that couldn’t do network drives or turn off the preview pane. worst it inconvenienced me as now i had to uninstall the damned thing and downgrade myself back to functionality. if they wanted to gain customers i’m sorry, this is a good way to guarantee bad will.

    also downgrading and blocking the program from accessing the internet with a software firewall is not enough to stop it from harassing you with upgrade notice popups that cannot be shut off to my knowledge. my guess is that 3.0 leaves something behind that causes this. quite annoying.
