Freedom pops up every time I turn the power of my computer on. You have to click "no" 4 or 5 times to get rid of it. It doesn't not show up in task manager. GET RID OF IT!!!

Freedom.exe is difficult to uninstall. Had to go into safe mode and rename the zero knowledge folder and also delete the registry key before I could remove it from my computer. You don't need it, so get rid of it.

It slowed my pc drastically and caused a screen to come up on shutdown "ending program UiPopup hidden". I googled and found that this came from freedom.exe. I ran a search on my comp and deleted the folder. Since then I haven't had any probs.
