Mike: SpyBot always gives me a popup to avoid downloading centrport...so it sure seems it would be covered if spybot was run. You can't even read how to get the opt out code without downloading centrport! But since O_O already has centrport he can go here on how to receive the opt out:

www.centrport.com/aboutus/privacypolicy.html

Take care! angel

O-and O: Ok...go here:

http://www.centrport.com/aboutus/privacypolicy.html#

Scroll down "click here to opt out" and it opts you out of centrport.

I can see no where that it would put TSG at risk.

Take care. angel

Angel? Would you consider giving me lessons on how to research? You are THE EXPERT, I'm thinking....

I've never heard of them, so I certainly don't think so... Sounds to me like you just need to get their software off your computer?
