This page was originally posted anonymously to the HypertWiki. It didn't really belong there, so it may have been posted by a 'bot as part of a spam campaign; on the other hand the HypertWiki did at one time contain such content, so it may have been an honest mistake. Also, the post was done in several edits with human-like intervals (1-3 minutes) between them, so it may have been a legitimate attempt to post useful information.

Be on the watch for content about this product appearing in other inappropriate places, however. I recommend looking for independent reviews before using or buying this product. A virus scan would also be a good idea if you download it. --Woozle 11:24, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
