   Reviewing 3.0 (Mar 28, 2006)

   It is apparant that despite their protestations that ViewPoint is not spyware... they ARE INDEED Adware and intend to be.
   
   As ViewPoint is pre-installed by a number of PC Vendors, and is included with numerous software installs including AOL and AIM - it is quite prevalent in terms of installs. AOL is particularly egregious as it AUTOMATICALLY REINSTALLS ViewPoint every time you open AOL if you uninstall ViewPoint. (Unless you know the SECRET to turn it off.
   
   ViewPoint masquerades as a useful, innocuous, and misunderstood and maligned technology to enhance your web experience. Unfortunately it seems it has little real purpose beyond being a fancy graphics adserver.

   Most of the positive comments on this forum come from known speculative investors in Viewpoint. Zaphod and Michael Tzez, For example, hit EVERY appearance of a negative comment about Viewpoint that they can find on the web to chime in and extol the greatness of the software. They're just shilling to protect their investment. Google viewpoint and read comments ANYWHERE!

   This toolbar is excellent for keeping visual bookmarks. What's cool is that the thumbnails enlarge as you pass your mouse over them. All my sites are very easy to find by folder and image. Searching is enhanced by visual thumbnails so you can preview before you click, preventing wasted time searching.
   
   The best new feature is the Photo printing/ sharing service. You can enhance and store your images on your PC, and just upload the images you want to print or share. It has a new video help assistant, too, so it's easy to learn. I've had 3D/photo tool software from Viewpoint (previously MetaCreations/Kai's Power Tools) for 15 years now, and they always have made impressive software. They've done a great job with 3.0, and continue to impress.

   It is a quality product created for the average user. The toolbar overall use and design is well thought out. Integration of visual and text search results along with right click movement enables even the youngest user to search with ease. The product is the best I've seen at demystifing Web searches.

   What's wrong with everyone here? I am an IT professional in NYC for over 15 years. This program is harmless. It is actually very cool and useful.
   Definitely nothing to be scared of.
   
   Are all these posters the same person? I have seen something similar to this before - the competitors were bashing the better company. Something is definitely not right here.
