Privacy=HOTBAR COLLECTS AND STORES INFORMATION ABOUT THE WEB PAGES YOU VIEW AND THE DATA YOU ENTER IN SEARCH ENGINE SEARCH FIELDS WHILE USING THE SOFTWARE. HOTBAR USES THIS INFORMATION TO DETERMINE WHICH ADS AND BUTTONS TO DISPLAY ON YOUR HOTBAR TOOLBAR AND WHICH ADS TO SHOW YOUR BROWSER.
Description=Hotbar changes the Internet Explorer search page to a searchsite, which is unable to find "google.com" or "yahoo.com" with the search strings "google" and "yahoo" , which is common among fraud searchsites. The tool bar buttons are frequently downloaded from the Hotbar websites, especially at the program's start, causing an overuse of the internet connection. The weather forecast screen is not being cached but downloaded every time causing again more traffic. The toolbar does also collect and transmit data on the user's surfing and internet shopping habits. Most of these transmissions contain a (probably unique) UserID and a ComputerID. Last but not least Hotbar does also cause ad popups. Most of these mentioned functions are stated in the terms and conditions and the privacy policy . Since it is not expected that many users read or understand these, and as this software package can be very annoying, Hotbar is classified as PUPS.
Functionality=A typical IE toolbar offering search and advertising

[FileFreedom]
Threat=Spyware
EditDate=20021128
Privacy=From readme.txt:%0D%0A2. Is this program watching me? Answer: When you download a new file using a P2P program, the Companion will look that file up in the File Catalog and display the information to you. A note is also made that you downloaded that particular file. This information is used to bring you personalized recommendations of other files. Recommendations are calculated by comparing the file's you downloaded to those of other users in order to find users that have similar tastes with you (the technical term for this is collaborative filtering). Information on what files you downloaded is stored in the form "user 424322 downloaded file 342525." FileFreedom does not track personally identifiable information - i.e. we DO NOT store something like "John Smith downloaded file.mp3"[...]%0D%0A4. Is this program spyware? Answer: NO! Spyware is a term that refers to programs that hide on your computer and collect personal information about you. The Companion meets none of these criteria. Whenever the FileSharing Companion is running, there will be 3 orange dots in your system-tray (by the clock). Furthermore, whenever the Companion communicates with the FileFreedom servers, a window will appear. There is nothing hidden about this program.
Description=The answer to the question if the program would spy that it is not hidden - during my tests those three disappeared even when the process was still running. Also they say they don't log downloads by name, but using numbers. Using unique IDs still allows personal identification! Furthermore the EULA (which isn't displayed, but saved in its folder) wants the user to agree to automated software updates without his knowledge.
Privacy=The eBay Toolbar is designed to be used in conjunction with the eBay site. Accordingly, your use of eBay Toolbar is also defined by the eBay User Agreement and Privacy Policy.
Description=According to http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/privacy-appendix2.html, information to advertisers (including even IP, viewed pages, etc.) is given only in non-personal identifiable version; and to external service providers only with your agreement. But this toolbar uses adfarm.mediaplex.com as a relocator when you click on 'My eBay' or do a search. A possible GUID is also transmitted to the relocator (MediaPlex) server. Your typed keywords are sometimes also transmitted to DoubleClick. In combination with tracking cookies (somethings MediaPlex and DoubleClick are known for) this would allow MediaPlex and DoubleClick to track you. eBay is not interested in giving any statement about this, which raises further suspicions.

[eXactSearchbar]
Company=Pattern Discovery Software Systems Inc. / Exact Advertising LLC, owner of Mail.com
Description=The Spyware installer detection is the only one that is based only on filenames, without other criteria. The reason for this are two:%0D%0A1. files not yet installed don't have any registry references to them, and%0D%0A2. these detection is intended mainly for dialers - files that often differ in contents (different text, different images, different toll numbers) while keeping the same name (within one dialer 'family').%0D%0AThe Download directories setting should be set only(!) to your download folders, where you can easily identify the files you downloaded. Files in other places will be searched for automatically, there is no need to enter them in the setting. In fact, adding your whole harddisk to this setting will most likely result in false positives.%0D%0AIf files like wbemtest.exe in your Windows/System folder are detected as a spyware installer, that is such a false positive.

Description=On the program's web site the user "learns" horrifying stories about computers, espionnage, etc. thus urging the user to install SpywareNo. Having downloaded the program it installs to "c:\program files" (without letting the user change that directory), scans the computer viruses and finds some fake viruses which the user cannot remove with the (free) test version. Instead it offers to buy the full program for 20 Euros or to order a 3-day test. With this 3-day test one can remove the alleged viruses, however, after a certain time there are pop ups reporting that the computer is infected by some viruses that cannot be removed with the 3-day test.%0D%0AFurthermore, the program refers to a EULA the user has to agree with during installation, without the EULA being accessible. In order to read the EULA one has to go to the web site.

Functionality=What is BullsEye?%0D%0A%0D%0ABullsEye is eXact Advertising's contextual marketing software product that delivers relevant coupons and offers to users- in clearly marked separate windows- at a time when they are most likely to be receptive to receiving them. BullsEyeÆs goal is to deliver you the offers you want, when you want them. Millions of users currently use BullsEye, saving themselves hundreds of dollars a year. It is commonly distributed along with popular consumer download applications as a means of keeping them free to the public. Millions of users currently use BullsEye, saving themselves hundreds of dollars a year.%0D%0A%0D%0AYou probably downloaded BullsEye along with a free software program you downloaded on the Internet. To keep these programs free to users, the publishers have to earn some type of revenue stream to stay in business. The publishers include BullsEye with their program to keep them free, instead of charging the users a fee for use of the product.%0D%0A%0D%0AUsers get BullsEye only when they consent to downloading it and are always clearly notified before BullsEye is installed. Each BullsEye user accepts an end user license agreement (EULA) upon download.%0D%0A%0D%0ABullsEye shows only very selective, relevant offers - the average is two offers per user per day. For example, a user searching for "wireless plans" at a search engine may receive a special offer or coupon from a wireless service provider. If you are searching for, or visiting websites related to, "tropical cruises", you may receive a special offer for "20% Off of Caribbean Cruises" from one of our advertisers.%0D%0A%0D%0AAll BullsEye offers are clearly identified as either BullsEye or BullsEye Network offers, and appear in an independent browser window to indicate that the offers are not associated with any websites the user may be viewing in a different window. This window is always outside any other windows that the user may be using to view sites or conduct other Internet activities.%0D%0A%0D%0ABullsEye uses proprietary, privacy-protecting technology that applies an ad-selection logic directly to Internet elements that the user has chosen to have on their desktop at that moment, such as words, URLs, search terms, etc.%0D%0A%0D%0ABullsEye is very easy to uninstall. It can easily be found in the Programs folder of a user's machine with a full set of uninstall instructions. Simply go to your control panel; click on ôAdd/Remove Programsö; click on ôBullsEyeö in the list of programs; and click ôRemoveö.%0D%0A%0D%0ABullsEye protects user privacy. BullsEye does not track user. BullsEye uses proprietary, privacy-protecting technology that is based on real-time Internet elements - NOT on user information. Please review eXact AdvertisingÆs Privacy Policy.%0D%0A%0D%0AWhat BullsEye is NOT%0D%0A%0D%0ABullsEye is NOT spy-ware.%0D%0A%0D%0ABullsEye is an advertisement delivery system (ADS) for relevant coupons and offers, NOT spy-ware. There are very important differences between ADS and spy-ware:%0D%0A%0D%0AADS is legitimate product that clearly discloses its presence and what it does during the installation process. It also supports many popular download programs so that they can continue to be offered free to users. In addition, BullsEye serves ads that are clearly identified as a third party offer, protects user privacy, does not track user surfing habits, and is simple to uninstall.%0D%0A%0D%0AConversely, spy-ware does not adequately disclose its presence to users during the installation process and adds little or no value to the user experience. In addition, it is extremely difficult for the average user to identify. If it shows ads, they are not branded and origins are unclear. Most importantly, spy-ware tracks user click-stream and surfing habits, and reports them to a central server where they are stored.%0D%0A%0D%0ABullsEye doesn't use a lot of bandwidth or memory on a users PC. It shares memory (RAM) with your Internet Explorer browser, and uses very little additional memory beyond that needed for your browser. Little bandwidth is used since there is no persistent communication between a users desktop and eXact's servers and since BullsEye does NOT track where individual users go and what users do online.
Privacy=BullsEye protects and respects your privacy. We collect no personally identifiable information about you or your surfing habits.

Functionality=Supposed to show advertising without spying or frauding the user. Acts as sponsor for adsupported freeware.
Privacy=By downloading SaveNow (the "Software"), you give permission to WhenU.com, Inc. ("WhenU") to display relevant contextual pop-up ads, comparison shopping results and coupons. The Software selects which ads and offers to show you based on several factors, including: Web pages you visit, terms you enter into search engines and other online forms, content of the Web pages you view and your IP address and zip code.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe Software protects your privacy by uploading a database of content in small chunks to your desktop and then determining on your desktop whether to retrieve information from WhenU or third-party servers. To protect your privacy, the same database of content is sent to all desktops. Decisions regarding which ads to retrieve to an individual desktop are all processed on the individual user's desktop - and isolated from WhenU servers. In this way, WhenU is able to deliver to you relevant coupons, information and advertisements without sending all of your browsing activity back to WhenU and without establishing any profile about you (even anonymously) on WhenU servers.%0D%0A%0D%0AYour privacy is also protected in the following manner:%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0AYour personally-identifiable information is not required in order to use the Software. WhenU does not know your individual identity and does not attempt to discern it in any way.%0D%0AAs you surf the Internet, your "clickstream data" (i.e. a log of all the sites you visit) is not transmitted to WhenU or any third party server.%0D%0AWhenU does not assemble any personally-identifiable browsing profiles of you or your individual machine.%0D%0AWhenU does not assemble any anonymous machine-identifiable browsing profile of you or your machine.%0D%0AWhenU does not track which ads and offers you see as an individual user - all of our analysis and tracking of ads is done in the aggregate.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe Software does send back a limited amount of information from your desktop in order to count the number of users in our network and optimize the performance and relevance of the ads. For example, the Software may send WhenU or a WhenU partner a communication that includes information about the Webpage you were viewing when you saw or clicked on a particular ad, the term you entered into a search engine or online form and/or your IP address or zip code. WhenU has intentionally designed these communications back to WhenU or a WhenU partner to be highly protective of user privacy in the following ways:%0D%0A%0D%0AEach individual desktop is assigned an anonymous, unique machine ID. This machine ID is used only to enable WhenU to count unique, active desktops in the network. The machine ID is not used to determine which ads to serve individual users or to create browsing profiles of users.%0D%0AWhen ads are requested and/or displayed by the Software, impressions and click-throughs, including the factor (e.g., the URL, keyword, search term, zip code or some combination thereof) that caused the ad to be displayed are reported to WhenU. To protect your privacy and prevent WhenU or any third party from assembling individual user profiles or knowing which Websites you visit, your unique machine ID is intentionally excluded from these limited ad-optimization communications sent back to WhenU.
Description=WhenU.SaveNow gets installed as bundled software, shows popup advertising depending on visited websites and keywords entered into search websites like yahoo, google etc.%0D%0AIt drops links to Whenu on users computer and has possible stealth installations.%0D%0A%0D%0AWhenU.SaveNow makes numerous connections to WhenU in background.%0D%0AThe user cannot configure or stop the software via a GUI. It will run automatically at systemstart and connect to WhenU whenever it is possible.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe uninstall link in the Startmenu only opens a window which states that uninstallation is only possible through the Systemsettings add/remove menu. Normally a user would expect the uninstall link to be a real one and may not read the information stated by WhenU's infobox which looks more like an uninstall confirmation dialog.%0D%0A%0D%0A

The Toolbar displays contextual ads and offers in the form of rotating text links accessible from within the application.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe Toolbar protects your privacy by uploading a database of content in small chunks to your desktop and then determining on your desktop whether to retrieve information from WhenU or third-party servers. To protect your privacy, the same database of content is sent to all desktops. Decisions regarding which advertising and offers to retrieve are processed on your computer desktop. In this way, WhenU is able to deliver to you relevant coupons, information and advertisements without establishing any profile about you (even anonymously) on WhenU servers.%0D%0A%0D%0AYour privacy is also protected in the following manner: %0D%0A%0D%0A1) Your personally-identifiable information is not required in order to use the Toolbar.

WhenU has intentionally designed these communications back to WhenU to be highly protective of user privacy, in the following ways:%0D%0A%0D%0A(a) Each individual desktop is assigned an anonymous, unique machine ID. This machine ID is used only to enable WhenU to count unique, active desktops in the network.

Because the Toolbar's advanced functionality is designed to display ads whenever contextually-relevant activity is detected, a continuous series of impressions and click-throughs may be transmitted to WhenU.com's servers as you surf the Internet. To protect your privacy and prevent WhenU or any third party from assembling individual user profiles or knowing which Web sites you visit, your unique machine ID is intentionally excluded from any communications sent back to WhenU that may include a URL or such other browsing-specific information.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe Toolbar does not place any cookies on your desktop.

Functionality=Introduction%0D%0A%0D%0ARemote Removal Tool v0.1 was designed to give a kind of protection to your PC or to other PCs remotely so it's able to run as a Console or hidden. It uses an encrypted removal list (created by you) to remove any file and delete its startup keys and end the process, This detection can be done by defining the process name or the file size. It's also able to check the registry startup keys directly for a specific file name to check if that name is starting up with windows. This is usually used for programs that inject .dlls and exit the process. It's also used in the same way to detect servers with specified file sizes. For example if a file is 2323 bytes, its starting up means it has a key in startup locations in the registry. Remote Removal Tool will detect the server and remove it. This is an editable Removal tool, so it can be used to remove worms, trojans etc. The kill list can be updated from time to time, because Remote Removal Tool will check for an updated list after a number of startups set by you. Remote Removal Tool will also scan the processes for packed files, and it will warn you about those packed files running in the processes.
