Re: Nice Product
Thus far I am not impressed.
Only Item it detected was RealVNC which is used in a corporate environment. It does give useful suggestions as to the real uses of the software, but is it considered spyware? Definitely not! If it thinks so, then the program seems to be acting more like an Anti Trojan piece of software than an anti spyware piece of software.
Also, it did not detect any bad cookies. However Spybot S&D had no problem coming up with at least 10 relevant results.

Pickering, ON | IT is not labelling it as spyware.
It is saying that piece of software acts and does things that spyware may do.
Besides it recommends that you keep it. |

Actually VNC violates your EULA with Microsoft. But we too use RealVNC. Love the Antispyware beta though. |

NOTE: I have never in my life read the MS EULA. Don't feel like wasting a perfectly good Friday afternoon doing it either. |

Except as otherwise permitted by the
NetMeeting, Remote Assistance, and Remote Desktop
features described below, you may not use the Product
to permit any Device to use, access, display or run other
executable software residing on the Workstation Computer,
nor may you permit any Device to use, access, display,
or run the Product or Product's user interface, unless
the Device has a separate license for the Product.
So, technically, to VNC to your windows box from your linux box, you would need a windows license for your linux box.
I remember someone once mused on what this phone call might go like:
MS: Hello, Microsoft Licensing, may I help you?
U: Yes, I need to purchase a windows license for my linux box.
MS: ok, what version of windows do you currently have?
U: I don't have windows. I need a license for my linux box so I can remotely connect to a windows machine at work.
MS: So what version of windows do you have?
U: I DON'T HAVE WINDOWS. I HAVE LINUX.
MS: Oh, well we don't support linux. Thank you for calling Microsoft! |
