Wondershare Products wondershare.net wondershare.com WARNING about Wondershare installation of free trials or "free" software ... Shenzhen Guangdong
To whom it may concern.
I would like to express my dismay with the installation process of the Wondershare product PDFelement 6 Pro for Windows. Here in a nutshell my thoughts.
o The installer automatically reboots when finished downloading/installing - this is unacceptable
o The installer executed highly invasive changes into the Windows registry core - e.g. replacing PDF file types with PDFEelement types and adding a printer plus extra background services - completely unacceptable.
o Upon executing the de-installation process the background services are NOT removed - including one global service under common/Wondershare and PF/common/Wondershare. - utterly unacceptable.
The end user is now OBLIGATED to remove all references to Wondershare from the registry themself, reboot and remove all services by hand.
THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR !!!
I am reporting this company Wondershare to the relevant authorities and scam watchdogs in the hope that more people will gain awareness of these dubious business practices. Also the relevant Anti-Spyware producers should marke any products comping from this company as "suspicious" and have these products marked as Malware because these practices are shady at best.
Good luck.
