It was not software, it was a service to find a "missing" person.
PC, the url below was in an email that was touting a place to find people.
I linked to the URL without "pplsearch/index.html" and found the .com and to
the
left is a credit reporting agency. I tried a "reply to sender" from the
email solicitation, but it bounced. They ask for all the information you
might have on who you are looking for, then they ask of you everything,
almost, but your DNA.
I am really protective of the three digit code on the back of my credit
card, much less my SS#.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
