Sorry if this thread is in the wrong discussion forum:
I just downloaded Hotbar, I know it is considered spyware. But I'm on the losing end of an argument since My WIFE's whole family is using it!!!
I read the agreement where it says they collect personal info but is kept separate
I have Norton firewall so I know when an application attempts to connect to the internet, and this program seems to do so as soon as I turn the computer on.
Also is there a way ( a program?) that can give you details of what a particular program may be sending from your computer? I always hear about the various programs with spyware but would be interested to know what they are collecting and when.
I use Kazaa lite for this reason but now I have to do some convincing to get rid of this program if it is really not recommended.
Anyways I only found a few threads that talk about it so if any one has an opinion about it I'd like to here about it.
Thanks for you comments
