Sorry – post has been taken down and is no longer available

This can happen due to ANY of the following reasons:

  • The software or service has been discontinued or removed.
  • The FREE version of the software can no longer be accessed or used, because the developer changed it’s status after we wrote about it and now it’s payware.
  • The software was not free, but rather a demo or time trial (and we didn’t fully realize it before writing about it).
  • Subsequent to our review of it, the software has been bundled with aggressive crapware  that prevents us from recommending it any longer.
  • The software is exhibiting signs of containing malware subsequent of our original review of it.

A log of titles thus affected, started on Dec 6th 2012 (some entries prior to this date may not be listed).
