Prolonged Upload time when downloading

Thursday, May 27, 2004 by BlackWater | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Since the latest WindowBlinds upgrade, My DU Meter is showing excessive upload time prior to downloading skins. Am I seeing spyware action here?

Hi, there is no spyware in any of the products from Stardock. If you are concerned about spyware and its ilk on your computer you should see this thread https://www.wincustomize.com/msgboard.asp?BID=WC&id=271405 there are a lot of good suggestions for freeware software to help you deal with it

So far one of the best syware removal programs i have found is spybot search and destroy but there was recently a poll on techtv and the #1 ranked syware removal tool currently on the market is Webroot Spysweeper

Sounds like you either have spyware, in which case Ad-aware 6 http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/ should find it, or you have a virus... Any good AV software should be able to sort that out.

Just ran SDC myself, the only outgoing data was version checking and account validation
