MaxMenus may harbor spyware
Authored by: robfm on Dec 18, '02 09:44:19PM

I would love to know what personal information is available to any trial-ware software program that I install. Does any one know the details? Thanks.

Specific or general?

Are you asking in general for a tool to find such data, or in particular about MaxMenus? If it's about MaxMenus, no data gets sent when you use the trial.

In general, install etherpeek using Fink or run tcpdump and capture the packets. Not much fun, and there's tons of stuff to dig through, but you can see where stuff goes. If it's encrypted, you may not be able to see WHAT went, though.
