Our Maximizer (and yes, that 'z' bloody annoys me) is CRM software it is a pain in the arse to use but also has a number of 'features' that mean it fucks with my computer without even being opened, one being that if it suffers a 'network error' just at the point I do anything with my computer (turn it on, log in, open a programme, open an e-mail, type anything, log off etc) it freezes the computer.
I've had two events in the past fortnight when I couldn't log off at the end of the day and had to perform a denial of electrons to make the damn thing behave, both caused by a Maximizer network error - I hadn't opened Maximizer at all on either day. This morning three attempts to open Google Chrome, three reboots all caused by Maximizer network errors, again the damn thing hadn't been opened.
