They don't even pay REAL money!

This is a paybar type scheme, but there's no money! You get points for using their surfbar, then you redeem the points for gift certificates.
However the possible gift certificates choices are limited; they only have 4 companies and 2 are airlines (and i know I won't earn enough points to fly) so that leaves me with EddieBaur or Barnes&nobles.com. It takes 25,000 points for a $25 certificate, and I know nothing costs less than $25 at Eddie baur so I'll redeem my point at bn.com where I can buy books, cds, or software. That is if I get enough points.
The ad runs 45 seconds and its only worth 1 point. This correlates to 7.8 cents per hour which is extremely low payout. Futhermore when I installed Profinity, it always tries to load at startup even when I'm not online. I hate software that does that. Anyway, skip this low payout company.
There is one plus, the bar itself is half the size of most other adbars, but you cannot exit it directly, you have to minimize it then exit it. Sometimes it freezes and I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL and End Task to get rid of it.
