 Simply EVIL! February 28, 2008
118 out of 153 found this review helpful
The appliance comes with evil, unwanted, non-uninstallable software. Here is what it does:
1. Installs itself on your system without asking your permission first. It puts an icon in your tray. It pops up a window suggesting more software you can get.
2. It claims you can unstall the adware, but the uninstaller does not work. If you delete all the files, they magically reappear every time you put the device in the port. (This is a SPYWARE technique, and it is EVIL.)
3. An uninstaller downloaded from the SanDisk web site similarly does not work. Perhaps it works on some systems, but it did not work on mine.
4. It accesses the internet. My firewall stopped it, but the question is, WHY would any flash drive try to access the web? I have confidential data. I do NOT want my flash drive giving ANY information to any other source. Again, this is a typical spyware activity.
5. No privacy statement. No license agreement. No documenation warning you that unwanted software will be installed. No information about the installation, such as what registry keys were added, or where hidden files reside. I could be carrying artifacts of this device on my system for years, and I wouldn't even know it.
Although I can not technically call this software spyware, I can call it frustrating, aggravating, and EVIL. It wasted my time not only researching this nasty behavior and how to clean up my system after this appliance touched it, but also the time it takes to return this evil device to the vendor.

...don't listen to the negative reviews for this product. SanDisk makes a great product, every time. I use nothing but SanDisk for my flash drive/memory card needs because quite frankly, other companies don't make reliable products. The software issues with this device are not even a problem if you simply UNINSTALL the U3 software. Once you do that, it's treated as a mass storage device just like anything else. There is no law written down that you need to use software on a device just because it came with it. Using the Windows explorer to manage your files is easier and more effective anyway.
Not for Mac May 30, 2007

This item comes with U3 stuff imbedded, which is useless to Mac users. It is not possible to throw away the U3, which shows up as a separate disk icon on the desktop. You also cannot reformat this "disk." It takes up 200 MG that one loses as storage space, and puts two icons on the desktop. This disk is simply not satisfactory for a Mac user unless you want to put up with lost space and useless icons on the desktop.
WARNING: Your data will be erased!! December 29, 2007

Warning: Don't install the "update" because it will erase all of your data! I have been using the Cruzer thumb drive for some time. I have never liked it because it installs software on my computer without my permission (is that legal?). I usually have other copies of the data on my thumb drive, but recently a hard drive failed at work so I used my SanDisk thumb drive to back up some important data. Then today when I plugged the thumb drive into my desktop at home, I was prompted to update the software (called LaunchPad I think). I clicked OK. I was looking for some kind of warning to back up data or close all programs or whatever (as is standard). I didn't see any warnings -- just a license agreement. I clicked OK on the license agreement. It immediately started the "update," but the status said "formatting drive." I tried to not freak out. Surely they would not be deleting all of my data with no warning? Surely they could not be reformatting the drive? There is software on there! But when the "update" was complete, I checked and sure enough, the drive was entirely wiped clean! All my files, folders, programs -- everything. GONE! WITH NO WARNING! I couldn't believe it! Is it legal to do this? If it is, it shouldn't be! This is outrageous! I didn't have any other copy of a lot of that data! I called SanDisk, they immediately knew what I was talking about (I'm sure this is happening to lots of other people). They refused to take financial or legal responsibility for their actions. They didn't care about my lost data. No apology. All they would do is refer me to a company, LC Technologies, for data recovery. And get this, they are "partnering" with LC Technologies to offer a "discount" on data recovery. They even have a big link with a special discount code on the Support page for this thumb drive (but no warning about having your data hosed if you install the update). I'll bet you that they are getting a kickback from LC Technologies for sending so much business their way. How evil is that!?!? Not only is SanDisk deliberately deleting data, and not taking responsibility, they are benefitting from it financially at well! This is truly wrong, truly outrageous. I'm going to try to find a class action lawsuit to join.
PLEASE, do yourself a favor, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!
 Great Jump drive but not VISTA compatable April 2, 2007
26 out of 33 found this review helpful
Great product if you are not using VISTA. U3 Software in NOT VISTA compatable and SanDisk cannot tell me when the update will be available. Can't find a way to change the password once set. Working on it. Any upgrades to the U3 system formats the unit.
