It's not just MS. For instance, demon.com isp in UK once stated in their AUP
that since you
connected to them to get a web page, they had the right to get into your puter
too, and they
actively searched everyone for trojans such as BO to do it, too. One of the
internet advertising
companies bought a real life consumer database company, and is crossindexing the
net
activities with what they know about you irl. When AOL bought ICQ, the *AOL*
servers began
contacting my puter (so i blocked them and dropped ICQ), and since AOL bought
Netscape (and
i stopped using Netscape), Netscape now phones home, rather like the auto-update
that's in
MS's IE. Naturally those auto-updates send back info about everything on your
puter, cause of
course MS and Netscape need to know if their software works with everyone's
puter,, that's
basic customer service, right?
