I don't know how many have tried this app (a CD emulator) but it sounded and
looked good so I gave it a whirl. First of all, it kept trying to call up
my dialer but Spybot didn't find any spyware. I also had to disable
automatic startup through msconfig even though I didn't have "start with
Windows" ticked. However, it appeared that the app somehow hijacked my
Interent, because I couldn't access any Web sites at all--kept geting a DNS
error. I uninstalled it, ran RegScrub, rebooted, and now it's ok. Be
warned!

Thip,

Did you submit this to any of Spybot, Ad-aware, antivirus company,
etc? I noticed that this was just featured on TechTV.
