The first time i installed Impulse my virusscanner warned me for a Trojan. Because im one of those people, customer since 'Total gaming network', that like to play games and dislike to play with the computer, i immediatly removed 'Impulse' from my drive. After that live went on as usual with the Stardock platform.
2 weeks ago i tried to install the new patches and realized that 'Impulse' was the only way of making that happen. I installed 'Impulse' again. The updating of the 3 GC stopped more ore less halfway. Then there was a message 'Network' problems. On regular intervals i tried again, without succes. Then i visited the forums. The solution: turn off the Virusscanner. I did, the updates installed.
I dont like companies forcing me to disable VS and i also dislike companies that think customers dont see the marketing trick thats behind all the new and shiny for which nobody asked. GC will stick on my hard drive but for me it stops with Impulse.
I hope more old customers make a stand against ingnorant marketeers to stop this kind of BS.
