Spyware in StarDock apps?
Wednesday, January 21, 2004 by kona0197 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I just got a email from a guy called m_faccone blasting me for saying Webshots has spyware in it. He said all Stardock Apps have a crap load of spyware especially SDC.
No true right?

I never said webshots was a Stardock proggie.
I was just pointing out he was mad that I said webshots did have spyware. He then wrote back blasting SDC.
I know there is no spyware that i am aware of. I just was being sure and started this thread to find out as well as to prove to m_faccone that there is no spyware in SDC.
Sorry for the confusion!

He just emailed again. he says something about if you uninstall SDC then it still leaves 2 files that "call home" as he puts it.
Why would I want to Uninstall SDC?
Anyways...

I run both AdAware and Spybot on my computer, and believe me, there's no spyware in Stardock apps. m_faccone just wants to be yankin' yer chain.

Same here.
It would be very easy to tell if it was dialing out.
