Latest CNET Tech Tracker's included Facetheme crashes IE tab

Jul 11, 2011 12:15AM PDT

The latest build of CNET Tech Tracker comes bundled with Facetheme, which you can't opt out of and can't disable in IE9. On my Win7 64 machine, anyway, it causes IE to be unable to open a new tab by clicking "Open in new tab". This even disables Tech Tracker. It took me several hours to figure out that this particular change to my system caused my problem. Uninstalling Facetheme fixed the problem immediately.

This product should not be bundled with Tech Tracker. Or, at least, installing it should be optional.
