What our customer's say!

"C-Dilla, in detail", Here's a quote from extremetech.com. (ExtremeTech &sister publication PC Magazine're industry leaders. You've probably heard of their most famous writer, John C. Dvorak.) (Note:Intuit-TurboTax-2002's C-Dilla wasn't different from other versions of C-Dilla. It just got lotsa attention because TurboTax *was* very popular software until C-Dilla became a part of it.)

From ET's article:
"Likely the biggest problem users have expressed, is the level at which the TurboTax licensing agreement is managed and protected with the SafeCast/C-Dilla technology. People believe C-Dilla infiltrates their system in a very insidious manner, and uses memory and resources even when TurboTax is not loaded. And some believe it has caused them serious compatibility problems with non-related CD writing operations. (PC Magazine and ExtremeTech will be conducting some tests next week to see if we can duplicate some of these problems). [....] or your customers still looking to exit TurboTax for good, the uninstaller at this link now fully removes components of SafeCast/C-Dilla that were previously mostly impossible to remove."... If you're planning on using this product at work, forget it... your Info Technology manager will have a cow if he/she knows that you're installing destructive trojan/spyware (C-Dilla) on the company PCs. If you've already installed this software on a PC at work, let your IT manager know IMMEDIATELY, so he/she can take whatever steps are possible to remove C-Dilla.

In the 2002/2003 version of TurboTax, a great protest rose up from prominent computer-industry magazines and users, which led to Intuit/TurboTax somewhat apologizing, and offering a program that uninstalled C-Dilla after you'd uninstalled TurboTax2002. (The original uninstaller didn't remove C-Dilla.)

2004...does it have C-Dilla ? I don't know. It's not out yet. Approach with caution.

"Spywhere everywhere on my pristine machine :(", In the past I've used and enjoyed Inuit's products - good user interface, useful features, but lately I've grown wary of their marketing masquerades. After installing TurboTax2002 I am finally fed up. I hate spyware. Good bye Intuit. I'll be using Microsoft Money (instead of Quicken) and the associated online tax preparation software next year.

"Beware of Intuit C_Dilla", I have been a consistent Turbo Tax user for the last 10 years, but what Intuit did this year with the installation of C_Dilla, aka Spyware, is unconscionable. As a result, I have switched to Tax Cut, and it works fine. There is no way I will install spyware on my PC. Intuit blew it big time on this one!

"Spyware in purchased products? NO MORE!", What Intuit has done is completely unacceptable and has alienated many of their users. I'll be forever skeptical about any product that doesn't have a "DRM" (Digital Rights Management, aka C_Dilla) with a giant red X through it on the box. I'm all against piracy, but the methods used by Intuit have screwed many users who depended on their product to do their taxes.

"TurboTax really blew it this year!!", Reviewer: A software user from Miami, FL
I have been using Turbo Tax for 10 years, and up until this year, had no problem with it. However, this year frankly [stinks].
The product could not find my internet connection to go to online help. Took me 10 minutes to correct this. The product could not find my Quicken Deluxe 2000 tax information and offered to sell me Quicken 2003! This is NOT freeware or shareware, so why do I have to put up with all the sales and marketing [stuff] the program contains? Every other screen is trying to sell me something or get you to pay more for something else! It is annoying as hell! Also the infamous C_Dilla directory. I am all against software piracy, but for TurboTax to install software without my knowledge, and to run processes in my computer that I am not aware of and that run even when TurboTax is not running, is just totally wrong in my book! To me this is called "Spyware", period! I really hope Intuit reconsiders their tactics, because there are plenty of options out there for Tax preparation software, and honestly, this will be the last year I used TurboTax, because I am fed up with all this!

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Couldn't Even Install it", My Cd sleeve didn't contain the product key necessary to install the software. Intuit's answer was to mail it back to them and they'd replace. That does me no good because I have time to work on taxes now, not in 2 weeks. Add that to the spyware controversy--I'm going to buy TaxCut. Turbo Tax has lost me, a many year customer, probably forever.

"Unacceptable", The inclusion of an unremovable spyware program (c-dilla) is insulting, and enough to ensure I never buy another Intuit program.

"taxcut this year", thank you all for the reviews ... I have been using turbotax for years but am getting taxcut this year. As a side note ...ad aware software will remove spyware and can be downloaded for free.

"As a long time user this will be my last year with TurboTax", I have been using TurboTax for years. Overall the program is easy to use and nicely done. However, each year Intuit gets more obtrusive and obnoxious about licensing and installing unwanted garbage on my machine.

This year (Tax Year 2002) the install program littered my desktop with spam. The installer also installed a hidden program on my disk drive called C_Dilla. It is part of the copy protection scheme, but C_Dilla is well known to the programming community. C_DILLA products can block access to copying CDs, spy on other files, and cause other ptoblems. It is not clear which parts of C_DILLA TurbTax installs, but installing hidden files on my machine is not very nice. I am presumed guilty I guess. Oh yeah, the hidden files are not removed when you un-install. Nice touch Intuit.

Also, if you ever want to re-install this program in the future (like if you get audited) you are out of luck. They boast that it will only install once (for printing) and if you change PCs or uninstall you must buy another license! (If they still sell it when you are getting audited in the future). This worries me.

Next year I will be checking out the competition.

"Extremely displeased with Intuit..", Turbo Tax 2002 works great! The interface is intuitive and very easy to use. Returns are quick to setup and easy to edit without ever having to look at a real form. The final return on review is very accurate. I had no trouble creating my return and then filing it electronically. So I'm very happy with the functionality of the software.

However the copy-protection scheme that Intuit has decided to integrate into Turbo Tax 2002 is absolutely unacceptable! The C-Dilla software is nearly impossible to eliminate and makes upgrading your computer extremely inconvenient. The thought of more companies adopting this copy-protection technique is extremely disconcerting. In protest I will not be purchasing this product next year unless Intuit removes the C-Dilla copy-protection from their products.
