I've heard good things about GetRight just so you know :-). I doubt it has 
any remote hole other then perhaps a buffer overflow in the length of a file 
name but I highly doubt that. The only security hole it might have is an 
accidental one (and this applies to all programs) but again as I said, I 
highly doubt it has one, I highly doubt few of the "big" (read: commonly 
used) have security holes/trojans because users would notice something and 
it would be found.
