Are you absolutely certain? Because some of the things stated in the License Agreement honestly make you wonder.

Let me quote:

"Software is installed and information related to such change, including but not limited to the web address (URL), for the new home page, search page and default error page will be sent to C2's servers or third party servers."

C2 provides you with the software product known as lop.com (the "Software") free of charge or at a reduced cost in exchange for your agreement to accept advertising and other promotional messages delivered by C2 and third parties to your computer based in part on the keywords in the websites that you or any user of the computer visits. The additional content may include advertisements, promotions, links to third party websites or other materials delivered to your computer that match your interests, based in part on keywords found in the websites that you visit.  Your interests are matched to the additional content based on keywords collected from the websites you visit.  The keywords are provided to C2's servers or third party servers, which deliver the selected additional content to your computer in response to the keywords

Can this not, at least remotely, be classified as spying on people??

Anyway, read on:
