  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.
