Hi Zel,

I had the same thought before I used them.. I did a Copernic search on them 
and a Google search on them, and couldn't find any negative comments or 
warnings...

Then I also thought that downloading an EXE program and running that is 
just as bad... They all want to do an Internet test, and who knows what 
packet of information they're sending out during that test????????

Lastly, after running the test, I downloaded and ran SpyBot on my system 
and found no threats!

Cheers,
Chris.
