don't use the software [edit]

For christ's sake, don't use the software. Even if you try to custom install and uncheck the whole bunches of stuff, it'll highjack your search page and try to install a toolbar and all kinds of nasty shit. Don't touch this stuff with a twelve-foot pole. (98.234.170.15 (talk) 00:52, 21 February 2010 (UTC))

agreed [edit]

I was stunned to find that an apparently mainstream software product did so much nasty stuff to my computer. I'm an experienced software engineer and it took a good week before I finished hunting down all the stuff that MyHeritage installed and refused to uninstall. Hijacking a user's browser search page is just unacceptable and inexcusable. Why do they want to alienate their users like that? Mnudelman (talk) 22:41, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

is the site active? [edit]

So, the template says the site is active. During the last 2 months I have sent them requests to add some celebrities (famous and well-known celebs) and they haven't been added. None celebrities have been added in the last months. Is that active? --Tucayo (talk) 17:20, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Criticism [edit]

Maybe someone could add a section or write a few words about the criticism of the software. Tamura Jones have written quite a comprehensive review of the software:

Appears that the builder (7.0) no longer tries to install any adware. Even EULA on 7.0 explicitly mentions no advertising bundled. lav (talk) 06:50, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Response from MyHeritage.com [edit]

Thank you for your comments, we always like to hear constructive feedback. When installing Family Tree Builder you are given the option to install the toolbar and default search page. These features are not installed if they are unselected in the custom install.
