New version of PC-Doctor...still crap
Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2008 12:59 pm
There appears to be a new release of PC-Doctor available: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-67520
Against my better judgement, I installed it on my T42. I then ran a system scan. The scan broke my network connections, to the extent that network access was also disabled when booting into the recovery partition.
I had absolutely no idea what PC-Doctor did; removing
Access Connections and attempting to connect with the Windows utility (either wired or wireless) did not work.
It being late at night, I ended up having to restore from a recent backup. I was not happy.
Great job, Lenovo.
Note from Moderator: Many people read this list at work. Watch your language PARTICULARLY in subject lines. The transparent disguise was... transparent.
^ Not so much a "transparent disguise" as a British-ism, though I will be more careful to express my frustration with Lenovo less colorfully in the future.
