Software Beware

Filed under: General - Shuai @ 8:11 pm

Beware of this crappy software program for Windows.
I was trying to find a program that would hide a window by a touch of a hotkey, when I came across “Quick Hide Windows”. This thing is a piece of crap.
At 1MB unpacked zip, this thing is unbelievably crappy. I installed it and such and then opened it. It started with a nice tutorial. Okay, nice, CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+Q, ok, CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+Z and X, okay, alright, done.
This program lets you hide a window with a hotkey, CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+Z and bring them back with CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+X. You can also lock the screen with another hotkey. I tried locking the screen. “Not supported in this version of Windows”. Ok, I’m on Windows XP. No matter.
So I then try hiding windows. Umm, it hid ALL the windows. Ok, so unhide all the windows. “Not supported in this version of Windows.” Uh oh.

Eventually I had to end the program, and it didn’t even restore all the programs when I closed it. I had to go into the Processes in the Task Manager and end them completely and restart them.

This program is NOT worth getting. Beware of this crappy software!
