Die EULA zu IncrediMail enthält doch ein paar mehr oder weniger "bedenkliche" Einträge:

"The Top Questions of The Week
A Question from Anne"
"We recently installed Incredimail on a test computer using today's 'Freeware Program of The Week - Total Uninstall". We tracked the changes Incredimail made to our test system. The results were "Incredible" indeed. Over 15,000 lines of changes were made to our test system and it's registry (we have the test results stored in a text file). We then used Total Uninstall to remove every single change it made and removed Incredimail from our test computer. We then installed Mozilla's Thunderbird to compare the changes it made with the changes Incredimail made. Thunderbird made only 300 lines of changes. Keep in mind that Thunderbird and Incredimail are both email clients. Any program which makes that many changes is bound to have some negative impact on the computer's operation. It is no wonder that many references on the Web refer to Incredimail's instability and unwanted changes to various normal Windows configurations."
