My opinion is that any disc containing ArcSoft software is fit for target practice. Keep it as far away from your PC as possible.

Well that's pretty blunt and straight to the point. Mind elaborating?

I have foolishly installed 3 different AcrSoft titles that came with different cameras/scanners over the years. The software alters and grabs an enormous number of file associations without asking permission or even telling you which ones it's changing. It integrates itself into Windows explorer, altering a lot of the functions in unexpected and unhelpful ways. It causes instability with a lot of other media processing software.

All that, and without providing a single benefit of any sort that i was able to see. It didn't offer one single function that i couldn't already perform with Vegas and the photo editing software i already had installed.

Hmmm - sounds like Arcsoft is an offshoot of Symantec (or Corel - another one picking up all sort of other software and marketing it). I like ones like Irfanview that tells you exactly what it wants, give you the chance to change what the defaults are and even tells you how to change it later if you want.
