#WONDERSHARE MOBILETRANS 6.0.5 TRIAL#
They use sophisticated registry tweaks to prevent you from re-using the trial after it's over. What I realized is that they spew their garbage all over the registry. If you use a program like process monitor, you can see TONS of registry accesses when the program boots up, more than I've seen in any other 3rd party program on Windows. I have no problem with a company using the registry to prevent re-using a trial (though most good programs don't do this), but I do have a problem with Wondershare completely gunking up my registry. I started to have a sour taste in my mouth. So then I uninstalled again and I thought that was that. A few days later, I start to see these SUPER ANNOYING pop up ads on my desktop. Luckily they were advertising Wondershare products, otherwise I probably wouldn't know what the source was. It was a pop up that basically said "Get a deal X% off of Wondershare" plus a link to the site. It was a familiar ad, because when I previously uninstalled Wondershare, it had immediately launched my browser and took me to a "special deal" page that claimed I would get a % discount if I ordered right now.
Obviously it's an underhanded tactic to grab peoples' money before they forget about the product. I wonder if anyone has actually fallen for that crap.
I verified that I uninstalled all Wondershare products, but the popup ads were still occurring, about once a day in the morning. That's when I found a malware program called "Wondershare Helper" running in my processes and that it somehow added itself to my startup processes without my permission. I did a google search and found that other people have been similarly pissed off about this, and their response was to basically go and delete the Helper program.
