I believe it's reasonable to be upset and surprised by such things. Anyway, having a 10 page long contract with some fine print stating that XX reserves the right to behave nastily or irresponsibly is rather reprehensible. But forget all that, the more relevant issue here is - does the software actually do all that the original poster claims? Does it snarf passwords? Has anyone else verified that? Cheerio, Link.
I am pretty sure it doesn't snarf passwords, bu tyou never know what dark purpose they could have for this software, i consider it a trojan, plain and simple, if some puts a disclaimer on software saying, this is a dangerous trojan, and we will invade your privacy at will, if you download it, it is your problem. Most people can't understand the language, or don't read it, it is the job of the informed person, to try to get the word out oin this issue. I have been trying to do just that. peace Daehlie
