Edarsenal, good question. And that is the problem. No one knows yet. I have a friend I hope to get tearing into it tomorrow. And I have sent a message to Gibson Research asking if they would be interested in looking at it. In the meantime, we have received at least two different "explanations" from CL. That has not helped either especially since both explanations were full of horse fecal matter and not at all consistent with the evidence being brought forward here. With your statement, it has my "distrust meter" moving even further to the right. If this is discovered to be spyware, and if it is it will be discovered (just ask Aureate/Radiate, NetZip, RealMedia, AOL and the others), CL has really opened a can of worms unnecessarily. As it is, it is already turning into a PR disaster for them and they have no one to blame but themselves. BTW, thanks and a commendation to you and Jack for not selling your subscriber list to CL. Believe me when I say that it restores a bit of faith in this old soul.
