Windows 7 Logon Background Changer

User Reviews

• Read your installation prompts carefully....

  Aurora Lebeouf9/6/2015

  Pros

  It works. Easy to use.

  Cons

  Beware of adware, but it can be avoided. Another con is, I wish they would keep the original windows log on layout. I just wanted to change the background but it took the logos and everything out. :/

  Summary

  When you install the program, pay close attention to the "accept" and "decline" options. The first time they ask, yes you have to accept their terms of service, but everything after that choose "decline" to decline their optional offers, which are the adwares and garbage. They make it look like hey are asking for additional terms of service, but they are actually asking if you want their "offers" . Most free programs are like that. Always install choosing "custom installation" so that you can choose what get's installed or just read the installation very carefully and don't keep clicking accept, accept, accept without actually reading what they are asking you!

• Cannot delete this program from my compute!

  catherineleckie9/2/2015

  Pros

  Very pretty background pictures.

  Cons

  Had previous version which ran without problems. INstalled new version and it moves me to their screen when I am not performing an action for 1 minute! This is a real distraction! Most miserably, I CANNOT delete the program from my computer! Worthless!! Downloaders BEWARE!

• Installed all kinds of malware and unwanted software

  Ohrr124/14/2015

  Pros

  none at all

  Cons

  I didn't even open it because there were five or six other software installers that pop[ed up. BE CAREFUL. Thank God I have a good antivirus and malware detector installed.

  Summary

  Why would CNET even promote this kind of thing? I used to trust them but, no more.

• Installs browser hijacking malware.

  KingMerrygold1/2/2014

  Pros

  Finally able to change my logon splash screen; should be an ordinary feature of Windows 7.

  Cons

  Installed several malicious browser hijackers (e.g., Search Protect by Conduit) that were a complete pain to remove, and I can't even be sure they are gone. They kept coming back weeks later. This happens even if you use the included binary without installing it as a program.

  Summary

  Do not download this software as it is secretly bundled with several malicious programs.

• Easy in use

  herrysmith9269/28/2013

  Pros

  Software is easy to use, after empowering this tool you can save any images from your predefined folder and to welcome screen of the Window 7 based PC

  Cons

  This itself creates JPEG files for the image.

• works just great

  simon the cat6/12/2013

  Pros

  easy to use. was able to change folders so i could use my own pictures. looks great and is fun.

  Cons

  no cons but it did continue to ask me to click "yes" over and over again. finally just closed it after clicking "yes" twice and it worked just fine. not really a con just a bit confusing...

  Summary

  try it you like it. it is great I clicked the little direct link down load link under the Cnet installer down load. you get just the program. no bs from Cnet. Sorry Cnet but the down load button is NOT a place to put extra stuff. It only leads to bad reviews for what you are downloading.

• not updated in download

  googlybearhug4u5/23/2013

  Pros

  works just fine after update

  Cons

  although i was prompted,the first version was crashing whenever i scrolled through the folder i chose. after my third fail, i decided to go ahead with the update. all was good after that.

  Summary

  this is a nifty little tool to change your logon background. once loaded and updated, it works as advertised. a suggestion would be more logon page options. i wish to remove the logon screen administrator photo, and move the logon box around. also change the font of user.

• Installs crappy annoying software

  SupaTreadz4/20/2013

  Pros

  Not worth it. DO NOT DOWNLOAD

  Cons

  So many annoying additional programs messing up my browser, two were simply to remove but the others are irritating. Bullshit.

  Summary

  DONT DOWNLOAD. Scum of the Earth are the people who develop this stupid programs.

• Installs extra buggy software

  plax772/11/2013

  Pros

  The program itself does exactly as advertised. It'll change your logon screen with no hassle and the GUI is pretty nice without bogging down the program.

  Cons

  On the other hand It installed 4 additional programs on my computer that there didn't seem to be any way around installing with the built-in installer. Two of them were fairly harmless and didn't do much. The other two automatically installed themselves in my browser and began to constantly reboot my browser making me lose the data that I had stored on the webpage I was working on at the time. The reason it happened more than once is that it reinstalled itself after I just deleted it from chrome.

  Summary

  Does what it's supposed to, but at a retarded cost.
