  Has anyone downloaded the "Perk Web Browser"(40 cr on PL), and if so, what do you think of it? Is it worth downloading for the 40 credits? Will it "louse up" the game or more importantly, will it damage the computer?

  Would be most interested to hear......................Thanks, GV

  GV,

  Here is a quck Perk Browser summary:  If you like to shop online, you may like Perk, which is a new browser that lets you rack up reward points for surfing, searching, and shopping online.

  Perk is based on the same technology underlying Google’s popular Chrome browser...... The Perk browser runs on both Windows and OS X PCs..........from what i have gathered, it's not made for gaming, so if your intention is to use it for that, i would steer clear from it....if your intention is to go shopping and get rewards then by all means try it out...just remember that you are opening yourself up to spyware and all sorts of tracking cookies which could harm your computer performance.

  Nope, not even for a 1000 credits. And usually there is NO way to get rid of it ALL, unless you like digging it out of the registry.  Besides there are tons of credits available today from just watching videos.
