FlashGet : a serious spyware threat?
Posted by Tom-boy I just downloaded and ran M$ AntiSpyware and it gave a rather big load of potential threats, affected registry keys and files concerning FlashGet 1.3. Neither Spybot nor Adaware regarded it as a threat. So, should I be worried? Is it really as malicious as AntiSpyware claims or is this just some sort M$ threat tactics in the works? I do realise that FlashGet is ad-supported program and therefore collects data but since I use it only on legitimate and 'innocent' sites it doesn't really matter that much. Annoying it is nevertheless, no doubt. |
