I don't about the movie DW, but I have incredimail which uses what they call notifiers

http://www.incredimail.com/english/gallery.asp?typeId=5

these, depending on which you choose, will appear on your desktop and 'speak to you'.

Jafo thinks 'incredimail' is on the spyware lists.....sure he's seen it there....

Journeyman what mail service do you have it set to check?

I tried to set it to yahoo, didn't work, tried hotmail, didn't work either

IncrediMail does not collect users' personal information

IncrediMail may on occasion share usage information for statistical purposes

IncrediMail does not and will not provide user's personal identifiable information it has collected

Come on, guys....let's keep our disclaimers consistent, otherwise someone may smell a rat.....

Last night?

Where was I?....

I'm sure it's listed on one of the spyware engines....

Jafo goes a hunting.

I can't remember the exact detail now but where the account setting requires that you tick the box that your server requires authentification - try unchecking it if its checked.. Cross check your Yahoo account settings with the advice on the 'Yahoo mail' page.

Jafo wins...

Totally re-edited this one. I think its how you personally define spyware and what you are willing to tolerate against the gain. Anything you do in this country - all e-mails, and your mobile phone calls that are within the range of GCHQ are electronically monitored. I guess if the firm tells you what its doing with respect to stuff, its not spying and the link Jafo provides is to what comes off to me as being a 3rd rate site that should have borrowed someone's spellchecker

As long as the authorities never put together the link between my vaseline supplier and my fish costume I'll not worry too much about incredimail. Both spybot and ad-aware are reporting a totally clean system.

and Jafo - I knew you could be cruel - but to deny last night even happened

All I can add, is that every time I ran ADAWARE it would list several parts to my Incredimail service.

...However, when running SpyBot it would not list anything from Incredimail.


I still uninstalled....better safe, then sorry

You'll get both sides there....and Gosh...1 guy declared it CANNOT be spyware because SpyBot told him so.

Guy needs to stop listening to voices....

I have a feeling it is not as squeaky clean as some might propose....

Ok, boy has checking this out ever been a roller-coaster ride through hell. My take on incredimail so far is if you don't need it, ain't interested in the extra's don't get it just to try out and remove again unless you're about to reformat or you've got a spare machine.

If you have my experience you have software that works perfectly and can be fun to play with (apart from once when I had to reconfigure a setting in reverse to that which was recommended - go figure). On that occasion I contacted customer support - it took them 2 days to reply but once I was in the loop we exchanged something like half a dozen e-mails until we cracked the problem - nice and polite no problem. I also contacted them recently to check on how whether it could be configured to use AVG by default - I got a full and useful answer the next day. In fairness I do have the premium/paid version and wouldn't necessarily expect the same for the free version.

Any adware/spyware has been taken care of by the usual proprietary means as far as I can tell.

It has never crashed this or my previous system (Dell Pentium 200 with 98SE) or caused any obvious hang up.

I can find sites that have very negative things to say - but thats true of all mass use software. I think it fair to say they do like to leave a big footprint some people say for them its buggy and they clearly do collect non-attributable info as stated in the EULA. Ultimately I think its a love it or hate it piece of software - personally I love it and for me it works perfectly. Some folks hate it equally as much.

I have seen the EULA described as being possible illegal in one place - to the best of my knowledge it is based on the requirements of the American legal framework and if that is the case then then the key thing for me is this:-

IncrediMail does not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information, even if such information is voluntarily provided by a User.

As far as I know there is no proof anywhere that the creators/suppliers of incredimail are an out and out illegal site making massively fraudelent claims about their privacy policy in order to link your every movement with your name and address and sell the information to third parties. Basically if you want to be put off it forever I can provide links to do that - if you want to feel re-assured I can provide what I think are reputable links that'll do that too.

I'm very tired now - can I go out and play ?


Only edited cos I spelt proprietary wrong and I did't want to give Jafo an in with his spelchekker
