RE: Patchou please explain.
Well, I'm sorry but I can't seriously read a post talking about "Trojan", "infection" and "spyware control server". I just wonder why he did not add some reference to "Borg technology" while he had the chance.

The site this guy mentions is simply where the files of the sponsor are located for installation and update. Absolutely nothing is out of the control of Circle Dev, it's just that as you know, some antiviruses tend to detect it as "Trojan" which is ridiculous due to the fact that you need to confirm twice the installation before it happens.

It's just the usual bullshit talk at work. Installing the sponsor won't give you the amunitions needed to attack it (as you'll jsut see a couple of popups, hardly anything related to spyware, trojan the thelike). So, instead, some "expert" people will try to base our story on some of the technical aspects of the program which are non relevant but can easily scare people who don't understand the real meaning of all it: when the sponsor setup is launched, it downloads its files, installs them and displays popup. That's all there is to it and it has always worked like that.

If you really want to be scared about what a software does to your computer when you install it, launch a file monitor application, try installing Norton Antivirus and see the result.
