- Before you install Secunia's Personal Software Inspector (PSI)
- This is a spyware/adware soft
- from their EULA:
- "You agree to ensure that your registration details are true and accurate at all times. Specifically, you must notify us of any change to the registration details as originally supplied."
- "By registering you provide acceptance that Secunia may use data on applications installed on your system and may provide you with additional information, like product offers etc."
- "How amusing. Can you expect anything less than back doors and/or data collection/mining from proprietary software? It’s hilariously bad but people will thumb you down when you point out the faults in proprietary software.
- My philosophy is this: Closed source (proprietary) software, even if offered as free, is a potential trojan horse on a person’s system which, even if the EULA never states it, could be root kitting, bot ting, or anything else and you can’t do a damn thing about it because YOU CANNOT SEE THE SOURCE CODE!
- I believe anyone with half a brain would use *nix and update programs with one simple program with signed repositories.
- Those with a smaller brain will continue to use a proprietary OS, and use proprietary software to lead them into the false belief their computer is clean/secure."
yyyyy
