bobklahn says: I haven't tried it, but when I couldn't log into the website, 2hotspot.com, I googled it. This sounds like malware. I found this: http://www.ntcompatible.com/compatdb/details/2hotspot_windows.html kestrelj@hotmail.com Post License: GNU LGPL This software has 2 major problems. 1) It will fight you, tooth and nail, when you try to uninstall it. When you try to uninstall it it goes to your registry and that's when it does "bad thing" 2; 2) It pegs your CPU, sets off spy/virus scanners by editing YOUR administrative permission to alter its registry keys so that you CAN'T uninstall it. Not Only that, but it also deletes even Administer privilige to edit/delete its registry keys, and other entries, from the registry. I'll admit to NOT of being as educated in my Windows Registry as I'd like to be, but: 1)I couldn't uninstall it; 2)My Sunbelt Virus Scanning software caught it making registry changes that virus and malware are known to make when they are becoming destructive; 3)I couldn't delete the registry keys, values and data-types because it changed my administrative privilige FOR THAT PIECE OF SOFTWARE ONLY (as far as I am aware); 4)If I hadn't known how to reset administrative privilige I would NOT have been able to uninstall it, IN SPITE OF TRYING TO DO SO FROM ***THE SAME*** ADMINISTRATIVRE ACCOUNT THAT INSTALLED IT 5) I couldn't even do the above until AFTER I deleted the exe file with "Pocket Pillbox". 6) If you are unfamilier with networking you should NOT try to run this piece of software. It will reset your network so that EVEN THE PC OR THE SERVER YOU INSTALLED IT ON must use its own networking card and go through the software to get back online. ( 7) It constantly insists on being online even if you log off. (If you can't shut off your networking card INDEPENDENTLY of the rest of your PC, get Zone Alarm or something so you can shut-down the internet connection when you want your system offline. 8) To use this software you must follow these points, plus the hops back and forth: user computer> server/router> internet> 2hotspot.com> "your destination site on the internet"; 9) This ISN'T okey with me. If I wanted some software company tracking my usage I wouldn't be using coffee shops and anonymous proxy. (05/07/2010)
