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!
