If you have bought a netbook and have Failsafe, you will know the issues involved in trying to remove it. If you try to register now you will find that the server will not connect – this is because the software is no longer supported (since 7 April 2010 – check http://www.failsafe.com for verification). I contacted Failsafe directly and got this response about how to stop the annoyin popups properly –
“It sounds like you do not hav ethe application installed, just the annoying popup that is encouraging you to install it. You can remove this by downloading and running: http://download.failsafe.com/fspatch.exe The FailSafe service is being discontinued. The ability to install, upgrade or purchase the product has been disabled. Please see http://www.failsafe.com for current details thank you Alastair Phoenix Technologies”
I hope this helps anyone who is fed up with the annoying popup. Cheers Nobby
PS – Is this worth making a sticky???
Thanks for sharing this NobbyNobbs. I have put up a blog post pointing here.
Anyone else having failsafe probs? What does this mean for people who have been using it, is it just stopped dead now?
I think so as I was told they have turned the servers off.
I have tried the patch and it does appear to remove all traces of the software – even the link in the MSCONFIG startup list:)
Yippee

NobbyNobbs, thanks indeed, your link removed a very annoying problem, actually the first time I have really been annoyed by Samsung – even though I understand offering Failsafe was well intended. Apparently the patch removed every trace of Failsafe, so no more pop-ups. Great!
