Problem was the removal tools they published were not always worked reliably for everybody. It's better to never ever allow SF3 touching your HD, than to install it for testing, and then trying to remove it.

I had an electronic dictionary software that came with SF as well several years ago, Langenscheidt-Collins. People boycotted it to a degree that the publisher published a "patch" from which to install the dictionary (not doing it from CD anymore), and then copy over the vocabulary from CD. That way, SF was avoided already at installation. It worked.
