Is anyone out there using this program? Do you know if it can be turned on/off when needed or if it is compatible with Wordfast? Thank you for your help!

No, but I just downloaded it and tried to install it. After a while it tried to reboot my computer without asking me, and in the process it closed all of my running programs without warning me. I don't mind having to reboot when installing something, but the program must either ask or warn me. I was in the middle of writing stuff in various programs and they just all closed without saving.
Bad, bad program.
