NBC Direct Hogs System Resources

As if NBC Direct didn’t suck enough already, now here it is sucking up system resources.

“Joe” wrote in to tell us that the NBC client software also installed the OpenCASE Media Agent application, which was sucking 60 MB of RAM, taxing his CPU, and drastically slowing down his machine — even when NBC Direct wasn’t running. Joe wasn’t alone. Martin over at ghacks.net noted the Media Agent, also installed through NBC Direct, was nabbing 30 MB of his RAM.

All that, and it’s adware, too.

I’m glad NBC Direct isn’t available outside the US. That way, no one outside the US will have to endure this crap. Now I know why the arrow in its logo points downwards.
