In agreement with Dallas here, though my evidence is anecdotal. Any user I have come across who had loaded this onto their machines(before I got here, everyone was localadmin or on win98 w/out poledit) had some form of spyware/adware and issues which were attributable to the same. Whether this means it was put there by Incredimail is another issue.
Install Incredimail onto a box you control (preferably with restore mode available to completely get rid of it easily) and send a message with it to yourself and check out the source code. See what you think, then. I make no comments. I have done this and this is why I do not like getting Incredimail mail from anyone. Greg.
