File Association Helper

However, this project definitely needed more work because the product sometimes made the job much harder for its users when it comes to certain tasks. Some advanced users may find some cool features about this software but this is definitely not recommended for new users looking to make things easier for themselves. This program usually gets installed together with WinZip by users who don’t read everything during the installation and click “Next” all the time. It’s difficult to get rid of this program and that is why it was labeled as malicious software by certain people. Uninstalling it is not impossible if you follow these steps:

Step 2: Delete Related Registry Values
Even after you uninstall the program, you may notice that some of its features remained to bug you, such as its context menu when you right-click on a file.
