Has anyone checked through all the info this thing actually wants to send back when there's an error? I was looking through it just now and noticed it sends a lot of info that simply isn't required, personal info basically, along with details on a number of things you've got running. Yeah I can see how they'd think those might have some effect on why Firefox crashed, but does it really need to know your login details too? hmmmm.
 
I was looking through the info from microsoft WindowsXP crash reporting service once, and there was ALOT of info in there.

Personally I don't trust anything. I don't even really trust Microsoft or Norton, but what the hell would they want from me i figure..

I wouldn't wory too much.

I have a program that cleans all history/temp.

well it doesn't worry me, since i don't let it send anything, never have with those things.


Nobody trusts norton, except the virus makers, since they know Norton can be trusted not to find anything.
 
hellyah.

I heard several people kicking norton but it has been great for me.

I like it alot, but would like to try some other programs, maybe something better out there. It came with about 12 other programs that are usefull for things like cleaning up your PC.

I know that the free norton program that came with my computer was useless to me.

I don't really trust anti-virus companies becuase I was thinking maybe they are releasing new viruses so that you have to buy thier shit.

paranoid I know
 
If norton doesen't do the job,what will?
 
Norton is pants.
I use Eset Nod32.. its really, very good and discrete. :)
