SaveNow is the only program of this kind that actually entered my machine, except for RealOne.
It was distributed together with a movieplayer that at the time was a very good alternative (but now there are much better ones). Unfortunate I cannot remember its name anymore.
SaveNow makes the machine run like crap, sucking up heaps of memory, cpu power and then there are thoose annoying messages. Whenever I feel my machine is running slow, I make sure that SaveNow.exe isnt running (you never know when it returns).

If you dont want it, and they force themselves upon you, it is rape.
The most effective 'protection' is to have an updated host-file that forwards the 'rapists' IP/URL to 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0
