6 Monate getestet, seit dem 3 Monat fing das Programm an richtig Ressourcen zu fressen, 37 Prozent Auslastung. Wie beschrieben erfolge bisher keine Freischaltung. Nicht empfehlendwert! Thomas
Runs in the background of your computer and helps company's as well as paying you for doing so, no danger after being scanned with 67 virus scanners. Billy
Das Programm hat ein Fenster, läuft ganz normal und ist weder gefährlich noch nicht empfehlenswert. Ich habe seit ca 3 Jahren Nutzung bereits über 600$ verdient per Paypal. Stefan W. (further information)
Been running GomezPeer for years with no problem. And they do pay. Still if you don't know what it is that means you probably didn't install it so it could be that someone else (maybe a tech type person) did on the sly and they are reaping the reward and not you). Remove it and then see if it makes a dif to your computer, if it doesn't then go to gomezpeerzone and download for a reinstall and make sure you starting getting paid for it. Its at least worth a free beer or two being added to your paypal account. Gregory
