    I must delete theRoboorm feature because Roboform automatically fills out forms, for items I am NOT interested in. My husband, gets upset with me, and causes friction between us. I'd rather be able to decide, which offers I am interested in and fill them out myself. Thanks or your help. RCapob1073@aol.com

    Well, not all Roboform installations are mallicious.
    We use Roboform for automatic form filling and it is a great time saver.
    Also you can set it up so that you can decide which forms to fill up automatically and which ones to fill manually.

    It is very helpful when you do multiple logins, but slows down your computer significantly. Especially if 2-3 browsers are open.
