Guys, just a reminder, this offer askes you to download a software in the end to compete it. If you are not up for it, don't even bother.

 :crybaby2: it made my computer run really slow, and I had to take it out...I am doing their homescan though, which is really good. You just record what you buy, and send the info over the phone once a week, for points that you trade for prizes.

I just did it, but I've heard mixed reviews about whether it credits.  but then, everything is like that lol.  No system is perfect.

Edit:  I got credited! ^__^

I don't do anything too evil online, so I don't really care if it's tracking me.

I did it for about a day. I guess the thought if that software tracking my online movements made me really weary of what kind of information they could collect. I uninstalled the program.

I just filled out the Nielsens Rating survey and did the download.  Now waiting for credit and to see if I can work with the download.

Lol.  I did the same thing.  I downloaded the software, got credit from FC, and everything was great.  My computer didn't run slow or anything like that.  I just didn't like the whole idea of them tracking every time I was online.  I got pretty bothered by that after a while and uninstalled.

my internet already knows pretty much everything about me.  I think the creepiest thing was when it started basing its ads off of where I live.  So I don't see what else could really be sent.

I downloaded it several days ago - it pops up every time I start my computer but I still haven't been credited.  I'll give it a couple of weeks - then remove it if it doesn't credit.  I don't mind having it - you are tracked even if you don't have it.  For those who don't know - almost everything you do is in some data base.  Go to one of the online search companies and look.  Someone called my ex - divorced 20 yrs and moved at least 6 times, both remarried, looking for me.

Actually I tried the homescan thing too, but I didn't get credit for it.

it took about 15 minutes to credit. i downloaded, went to check my email, there was mail from them (not a confirmation) but, it said to update my info with them. did that. then it said i had to reboot my computer for it to take effect. checked my programs in computers add/delete, it was there - came back to fusion and my credit was there!
