Carol's Vault: Is Active Virus Shield a spyware?Their EULA says so.

  • Jason Drohn · 3 years ago
    If you were to site down and look at how many rights you give up in clicking through a lot of software's EULAs, it would startle you!! It is ridiculous how many software companies abuse the fact that people just click through the installation screens..

    They also make the EULA's long and many people won't understand the meaning of some words.
    That's the right word: Abuse.

    Isn't there a claus about your first born son in the AOL software too? But plenty of companies do the whole spyware thing. It's easier to search a few moan sites than try to translate a EULA. Ed Foster's Gripe Log is a half decent placeto start.

    I'll do a search for that.Thanks Harry.
    Regarding the EULAs,didn't really read them till about two years ago.Some of them even make jokes in their policy.
