   I have spent hours trying to trace and rebuild a machine. Everytime I try to launch a program from the Windows Start button, I receive a scumware dialog with a 50 second timeout. After hours of work, uninstalling FileMinimizer Pictures resolved the issue.

   The scumware dialog box displays the following:

   Context Menu Platinum-unregistered version

   Funny, I have the program and have not encountered this problem!

   Maybe because I got it from another source (a magazine promo) but it still came from the same company (Balesio).

   Are you 100% sure it came with the Balesio program?

   It could be that the "scumware" program latched itself to the FileMinimizer program from another source of install after said program was installed.

   Have you taken a good look at the Balesio install program and its processes before making accusations?

   Because like I said at the beginning, I have installed the program and have none of these problems.

   And since I am very weary of these kind of things, I have "many" security programs and sub-routines and all process are "green-lighted" here (including "Balesio").

   I have also spent several hours trying to fix the same problem and came to the same conclusion, Fortunately i came across this post http://forums.techguy.org/business-applications/887682-context-menu-platinum-problem-solved.html
   Excerpt taken from post "Context Menu Platinum Problem - SOLVED!!
   This program was most likely installed along with FILEminimizer by Balseo.
   Uninstall FILEminimizer and you should be fine. It worked for 4 people I work with. They had all installed it as part of the giveawayoftheday a few weeks ago.

   The issue:
   Whenever trying to open a microsoft program like Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Adobe software, etc, a pop-up saying "Context Menu Platinum" registration / trial period. When you wait for the timer to finish, nothing happens and your program wont start. By uninstalling FILEminimizer, this problem is solved."

   once clicked the popup directs you to this page http://www.contextmenu.net/register_windows_explorer_shell_context_menu.html
   i am shocked that GAOTD had not spotted this sooner as many people would be scammed out of large sums of money

   As you can see we are not talking about pennies.
   Please GAOTD look into this matter
