Using a Macbook Pro I located zipcloud listed under 5 best online back ups. Used CNET to download the "free" app. The app got past apples built in security programs and also got past integos virus barrier. So I clicked on the zip cloud installer! Well thats when zip cloud took instant control of my files and folders and started to upload these files without allowing me any control over what was being uploaded. I couldn't stop the upload. So I disabled my WiFi. Then I noticed that this program was controlling my preferences and wouldn't let me her my launchpad. Each time my cursor went to my launch pad the computer screen flew back and forth violently making it impossible to make changes to my settings. Using a disk doctor I removed zip cloud and its files. But it had installed a program into my log in section. It took me a while to figure that out. But whenever I went to launchpad icon my cursor got stuck to the icon then a "cloud" got stuck to my cursor and I couldn't open launchpad. Obviously these are all hallmarks of malware. Apple had to reinstall my operating system for me to get rid of this program.
BE CAREFUL WITH ZIPCLOUD. It might be legit but that means malware applications have hijacked it and are using legit sites to get you.
