Spyware being downloaded

from WinCustomize Forums
Im sure you are aware, but I am a bit dismayed that you have spyware being downloaded on many of your download pages. TargetNet is a legitimate spyware product and I think it would be more responsible if you asked if it could be downloaded rather than doing it by force.

For others:

Spybot Search and Destroy can innoculate your computer from downloading it to your computer.

I'm sorry to disappoint you Fuzzy Logic and EventHorizon but I won't be baited into anger. You'll have to get your entertainment from someone else like UzEE.

Interesting subject that you proposed there, Neophil78. Can you tell me why PaintShop Pro would need to communicate? My old Version of Object Dock would crash if it didn't have full internet access. I stopped using it. This version has a weather dock that obviously needs it. But, I wonder??? Windows Update??? I wonder. Am I paranoid. I wonder?

I've send an email to support@Stardock and waiting for an answer and explanation ...
As i said i remember in the very early time i used WB (think at the begining of it ) that it was asked on first install if i accept or not to let WB send to Stardock what skin i'm using. But since this time i've changed my PC and install newer versions of WB and i never saw that message again ...

This is what I emailed you in response:

"Are you running an old version of WindowBlinds? What version are you running? We used to (a long time ago) connect and report the "most popular skin". But we have not done that since WC was developed. If you installed over an old version, you may not be actually using the new version if it did not overwrite WBload. I would suggest uninstalling, rebooting, then installing the newest version of WindowBlinds in Stardock Central."

So saith KG, aka the Oracle of Stardock.

Yeah, I thought I remembered something about that function but it seemed sooooo long ago. Musta been an artifact left over from a previous install or a really old version is still in use.
