I decided to do some scanning one day recently and found that my scanner program had been taken over by Picasa, as Picasa appeared on my screen when I used the scanner, with an option to then use my scanner program, through Picasa. Problem - the scanner program no longer worked as it had done and pics could only be saved in some strange format that was data. There no longer existed the option for jpg. After becoming totally frustrated in attempting to save scanned pics, and before taking an axe to my computer, I trashed Picasa and Hello. But, each time I open up a file now, I find Picasa lurking in there. I've found it on discs that I have burned, in the files I burned. So I'm not amused by Picasa and Hello. I see it as another invasive program that doesn't just do what it's portrayed as doing, it takes over everything it can take over. This to me is another form of 'big brother' in my life and as such, it went where it deserved to go, to the trash bin. And as I find the pieces lurking all over my computer, they will be trashed too. Uninstalling the programs did not clean my computer of Picasa, something else I don't like. If I choose not to keep a program that I have downloaded, then that is my choice and I should be able to remove all traces of that program from my computer. So sorry, but I don't agree with your comments re the value of the two programs.</p> I’ve tried Picasa and Hello only because it appears the only way I can post pics on my blogger is to download the programs.
