Well it's not. I have two computers that do not have it and they work just fine. You can run other programs and install software without the help of Installshield. Most computer related software problems are caused from all these programs coming on at once and demanding you give them some sort of priority. (Ever notice when windows does an update it's a signal for every damned program on your computer to click in and demand you update them too.) Phuck that $hit.</p> I have read all the crap on Yahoo answers written by stupid high school kids that claim having Installshelid on your computer is completely necessary. Well it’s not.

AOL stuff, Adobe, Nero, Java, all kinds of audio software, they are so loaded with crap its not funny. Let me decide what starts up with my computer... I don't need Adobe quickloader to start everytime I turn on my computer so the once a week I open a PDF file it saves me a split second in time to open it.</p> We should all start picketing software that installs startup programs automatically when you install them.

Even though I had it set to never, ever, ever check for updates unless I told it to do so, it kept reappearing daily. And the funny thing is, it was only checking for updates for itself. No other programs. It was there simply to justify and maintain its existence. The only way I got rid of it was by using msconfig to prevent the process from appearing at startup.</p> I fucking hated this program.
