in order to get on zwinky you have to downlad some bullcrap programs (sponsors i guess) so is there any way of tricking it to make it think i have already downloaded the programs?
Just for the heck of it I ran the EUlA from the Zwinky website through EULAlyzer.
This is what it reported as "bad"...
Advertising: 2 counts reporting adverstising in the program
Pop-Ups: 2 counts of the word "pop-up" in the EULA
Privacy: 8 accounts were the word privacy is brought up. This caught my eye...
Quote:The MyWebSearch toolbar, in the course of processing a given search query, sends a request to our servers. This request includes the keyword query, time of day, browser type, default language setting, IP address, an anonymous unique ID, and a code which identifies the marketing or distribution source of the toolbar used by you to conduct your search.
As a side not most of the flagged sentences do not say "we respect your privacy" or "this program will not invade your privacy" most of the sentences deal with the programs installed along with the Zwinky stuff.
Promotional Advertsing: 2 counts of promotional advertsing
Third Party: 4 counts of a 3rd party being involved. This would be the spyware/add deliverign companies most likely.
