Re: Aureate Software

[m_a_n_i_a_c_ () HOTMAIL COM (Maniac .)]

This issue was discussed to some detail on the Win2K Security Advice mailing
list (archived at www.ntsecurity.net). And it seems that the majority of
people agree with this.

Another point to mention is that if you de-install the software package that
installed Aureate, a lot of the DLLs that are installed for Aureate to
function are NOT removed from your system.

How can these people install something on the system without notifying users
they are doing so?  If a usefull program like L0phtcrack is listed as a
Trojan by AV vendors why isn't this.  It has much of the same
characteristics of a trojan.
