The dumb sify client is so terrible. Lots of ads open once the client is logged. The worst of it i get LogOff Failure!! Invalid session. When i asked the sify why is this happening they said they dont know. Many people are facing this problem. Also this client sometimes say the files are corrupted and needs to be reinstalled but waiting for few mins it will log in properly. I had enough of sify waiting for BSNL.

Could it be false positive? Have you tried some online scanners like jotti?

You should really make sure before you do anything drastic lest you have an egg on your face.

Of course it can be wrong. It is just a software after all and all the anti-* are notorious to give false positives.

This is a false warning. Sify dialer is completely safe to use.

@thunderbird - Only homepage of SifyMAx opens...there are no more ads than this.

Logoff failure occurs due to if your session was not recorded properly. Sometimes one has a sudden powercut and you don't logoff and the session does not match everytime. Nothing much can be done about it. So leave it. This is neither in our hands nor in Sify's. Sify logs out any user after certain period of inactivity so don't worry about balance going low.

I do not think there are anti malware laws in india, so this time sify escapes

Same here.

Sometimes a bit strange happens. I get over 70 blank IE. It happens rarely actually. I have tested comp for all spyware,trojan and other sort of malicious softwares. Could not find any.

Most of the website opens only when i log in to sify client. I feel that Client have some sort of malicious intent.

Only wish i was in US to sue sify.

Recently i ditched Sify. they are charging some Rs. 110 as service charges which is i believe completely illegal. they say it is for maintenance. i don't understand, maintenance cost is a part of business which they should do from their revenue. why should we pay extra apart from renew charges? looks like they r doing some side income by fooling us... If i had time then definitely i'd have sued sify.

Same here. Sify is taking so much of money and worst of it has a bad service.
