I gave that warning to my mother in law the other day. She had just bought the disk. I felt no need to give her the warning, because she's not the kind of person who plays disks in her computer, and she has no burner, but I warned her anyway.

Well, Murphy's law kicked in. It's the first CD she ever played in her computer. And she did it before I was able to warn her. She claims that nothing bad has happened to her PC yet, that she can tell. She has dial up connection to the internet. How paranoid should I make her when I see her this weekend? I know the uninstaller is worse than the copy protection. So I won't recommend that. She's basically without options at this point, isn't she? Nobody has an uninstaller for it, do they?
