  1. Review - Viewpoint Toolbar

    3.0 (Mar 28, 2006)

    It is apparant that despite their protestations that ViewPoint is not spyware... they ARE INDEED Adware and intend to be.

    As ViewPoint is pre-installed by a number of PC Vendors, and is included with numerous software installs including AOL and AIM - it is quite prevalent in terms of installs. AOL is particularly egregious as it AUTOMATICALLY REINSTALLS ViewPoint every time you open AOL if you uninstall ViewPoint. (Unless you know the SECRET to turn it off.

    ViewPoint masquerades as a useful, innocuous, and misunderstood and maligned technology to enhance your web experience. Unfortunately it seems it has little real purpose beyond being a fancy graphics adserver.

    Most of the positive comments on this forum come from known speculative investors in Viewpoint. Zaphod and Michael Tzez, For example, hit EVERY appearance of a negative comment about Viewpoint that they can find on the web to chime in and extol the greatness of the software. They're just shilling to protect their investment. Google viewpoint and read comments ANYWHERE!
