Hey buddy, enough with the flaming and ranting. I installed this thing without any problems, I don't feel that my performance is any worse. You need to get off the "net" before your screwed. Don't blame the uninstaller, because you have an unsual setup on your computer.

MY GOD! Im back to normal windows at last, I used a Windows XP live CD.

I have windows restore also off, because it has a performance hit.

I manually restored all *.backup files myself, in the BartPE enviroment.

But this is the last time i trust someone that says it has been fully tested, because a few pc's got screwed up bad.

The uninstaller doesnt work flawless.

For the ones that are still screwed can try to make their own live cd

http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ and have an explorer like totalcommander installed to rename all the *.backup files to their originals.

Ok, i have just installed this and ran the update. It's great.

Oops!!! i made a mistake... let me correct myself," i will not use this software again" (damn, i must be tired!)  :no:

Anyways...... nightRider yes when i installed this (which i will not do again) my system performance went down alot. System restore is your friend!!!!

is 1.1 the update thing? or is it separate?

Edited by nightRider

First of all this software should be labeled as BETA! Before the fixes this software did not work properly. Now i am not going to try the most updated version beause of the lovely experience that i had with the first. Now yes, people should never disable the system restore to try to sheer very minor performance gain. But the uninstallor would not uninstall the software that was in placed with this sofware. The biggest issue is that it does not create a backup in the (hidden) servicepack files. For the people that disabled there system restore, all i can say have fun!!!! :p And again this should have been tested before putting it out there. I am not saying just run and call it good.

If my limited experience of this pack is anything to go by, the uninstaller is completely useless unless you're completely up to date with windows update and you've made no system changes yourself. With that in mind, use at will, but if someone wants a better toolbar replacement, from vista itself pm me.

    • Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid by David Uzondu Instagram is finally rolling out the ability to customize your feed layout as you see fit by letting you reorder posts on your profile grid. This feature comes several months after the app introduced a tool that lets users rearrange photos and videos within a carousel post after it has already been published. To do that, people tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post, select the edit option, and reorganize their slides. Now that Instagram has expanded the feature to your profile grid, you can organize your main page without deleting old uploads. To use the new system, you simply tap any picture on your grid and select the option to reorder. This action opens up a separate screen where you can freely drag your grid items around until you get your preferred aesthetic, and then you just hit the back button to save your changes. Instagram's Threads account posted that the system would reach accounts starting this week, so you might need to wait for the automatic update to hit your phone. https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DZVV_fyjjSW In other Instagram news, last week, people figured out that if you ask Meta's AI support assistant to hand over any Instagram account, the bot will actually hand it over (even if the victim's account had 2FA enabled). The security exploit involved the assistant accepting prompts from users and generating password reset links for unauthorized email addresses. Meta said that the issue has now been fixed, but this came after the issue affected several high-profile accounts, including @obamawhitehouse. Last month, the company finally rolled out paid subscription tiers for WhatsApp and other Meta social platforms after months of testing. WhatsApp Plus costs $2.99 a month and gives you custom themes, while Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus cost $3.99 a month for extra profile customization and story rewatch counters. Meta's also working on Meta One, a unified subscription service that contains options for heavy users of its servers who want more reach or advanced features. For instance, Meta One Essential ($14.99/mo) comes with a verified badge and impersonation protection. If you pay for Meta One Premium ($19.99/mo), you get deeper AI reasoning tools, whereas the Meta One Advanced ($49.99/mo) tier increases your search placement (on Facebook and Instagram) and visibility.

    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”

    • I'm fine with a little reasonable promotion of Edge, but the degree which they do it right now I consider extremely unreasonable.
