No, I can assure you that Plaxo is not spyware, adware, malware, etc... Plaxo provides clear notification and disclosure, requires consent from the user in order to be installed, and provides a complete and easy to find and use uninstall program. Plaxo follows best practices against other spyware behavior such as no adware or any other programs are included within the download, Plaxo does not use Web-Beacons or Persistent Cookies, and the software makes no changes to browser Home Page or Search engine, or to IE’s Trust Sites Security.

If there are any questions, they can be directed to me at privacy @t Plaxo.com.

@ PlaxoPrivacyGuy

Can I ask you how you knew someone had posted a question about your app.?

After looking at the website I don't think I would like to give anyone access to my computer, they might not be parasitic now but one never knows what kind of horns they will grow in the future.

Welcome PlaxoPrivacyGuy

Can you tell me how users get your application (go to a website and D/L, offered when someone visits a website, etc.)?
