There is no license agreement I know of for TFC.

This is the Terms of Use.

Which does not cover software posted, specifically,
although links to harmful software as deemed by the
moderators will be removed.

TFC is a good temp file cleaner=

http://www.geekstogo...ldTimer-file187.html

But I was thinking any cleaning of a network would be initialized by the network administrator and not the individual users on the network in a business environment.

On the network at my work, you can't delete any activity, and it records everything done on each computer. The admin can print out a 30 day history of everything done on any particular computer, at any time. For good reason in my work place being a public school district.

Any faulty computers are simply re ghosted, though each staff and student has space on the server to save things.

For tracking abuse or problems the users cannot delete or clean anything on the individual computers.

So anyway, for a home network, it would be nice to click and clean all the computers here, instead of going to each machine to run normal maintenance. For a business, I don't know if it's done or if there is a way to do temp file cleaning as well as cookies and more.

Only a couple of hoops to jump through.
One is completing a form, name, address, company(I put Me).
Favorite program and a few minor things.
Them to activate, name and email.

No need to read through a ton of explanation or foreign languages.
2 emails, 3rd is a thank you. I think that's it.

I don't know what I would use it for,
but I did the deal and have it up and running,
to be sure before this post.

No, I did not spend much time looking in to this crapware. It was easy, once pointed out.

What's tiring is responses like that.
Knock yourself out, I don't care.
Give me static for something that has been deliberately concealed to the end users.

It's been going on for more then 6 months now and they have done nothing about the complaints.
I seriously doubt they will.

Like nchsoftware, they are getting away with it.
It will get worse, a new loophole.

I'll report it as crapware/adware to anyone I can, at my leisure.

Thanks for the the tip Kartal.

Fine, mouser, I'll quit.

There is no eula for open source posted with an install of these programs.

Nothing about OC in the license or any place for xulrunner, mediacoder or miro.

This is targeting open source projects. And could be the end of some, with google hits mounting as to the nature of OC and the job of removing it. As it is a software that was received without notice.

When I download a software program or application, I expect that is what I'm suppposed to get.

http://getsatisfacti...ion/topics/opencandy

http://forum.mediaco...c.php?f=3&t=5741

Besides having to find and delete the file-

1. Start the registry editor
- Go to Start Menu
- Click 'Run'
- Type 'regedit', click ok
2. Navigate to the open Candy folder
- On XP it is located at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > OpenCandy
3. Backup the OpenCandy Registry Key (just to be safe, in case something goes wrong.)
- Right click the OpenCandy registry key (looks like a folder)
- Click 'export'
- Save the file somewhere on your computer
4. Delete the OpenCandy Registry Key
- Select the OpenCandy registry Key (looks like a folder)
- Go to the edit menu and click 'delete'
- Click 'OK' to confirm the deletion

How long will people have to deal with this?
When word spreads further, and it will, there will be no OC.
And how many open source projects will it affect?
All of them?

Since there is no notice or informing of an OC install.
(And good for "Bitdefender" to catch that operation.)
This is bad practice for a seemingly good source of info on other products. Why are the software's involved not 'open' about this tactic before the download even starts?

Just to come back to my initial question, I'm still curious to get feedback from DCers using mindmapping...

I've already asked that question.
It's not hard to find if you search the forum.

Here's one for you both.
How much do you get from these posts?
Map your mind to that, and mind your map.
