epoll cd
I got an epoll cd with a "special survey". It wants to install a bunch of stuff on my
desktop. Anybody done this? If so, do you think it was worth the trouble/risk? Can it then be easily deleted?

It is a pretty lame survey for the STARZ cable channel but you get 1000 points for completing the survey and the software can be easily deleted once you are done. I am not aware of any problems after doing this and the points credited immediately.
Hope this helps

Although I would also check your Windows registry for left-over code that may be spyware. After this sort of software is used and installed/uninstalled, I always check for spyware with LavaSoft's AdAware program,

I installed it and had no problems... and then deleted it with no residual stuff (as far as I can tell).
