"Problems, problems, problems"
Pros: Offers a solution to everything (too good to be true?)
Cons: It does its thing, but nothing changes/improves
Summary: Nothing but problems since installation. Start-up has slowed; Processing time is noticeably slower; The system ignores commands, as if SM8P is itself a virus and has comandeered the system. For example, restart and shutdown commands do not execute. If that is by design, it is not explained. Processes in Window task manager refuse to end when told to. Control over the system is gone and it operates as if the user does not exist. Running the PC accelerator does not improve performance. In short, I liked my system better before installing SM8P, but IOLO does not offer a customer service option to address consumer concerns. Hence, I'm stuck with a lemmon without a refund option or a technical body to communicate with.

Similar bad experience. Plus something with the latest update takes my laptop out hibernation back into hibernation periodically. Runs down the battery after awhile.
