Rapport is one of the worst security programs available. Words are not enough to describe how shoddy it is.
I removed it from a pc once because it was randomly resetting any cursor position while my client was typing. It would beep, then move the cursor out of anything he was typing, even a word document. He'd then have to click back where he was typing and continue. Install it on a Mac and watch the errors flood into the console when Safari is open. I would rather install Norton Utilities and have it "fix" all errors on my system than use Rapport on any platform. When uninstalling it they're even so desperate as to offer a remote desktop session to see if they can't fix their poorly written excuse for a security program. I even emailed HSBC to complain about it and ask them to stop requesting I download it every time I log into Internet banking. Their response was talk to trusteer who make it. <\rant> -- MacAmbulance Sam Mullen 07747778022 [email protected] On 3 Dec 2010, at 08:54, Phil Tomlinson <[email protected]> wrote: > "Twas Sam himself that advised getting rid of Rapport on these pages some > weeks ago.
