VX2’s software also collects some information from online forms that you fill out. This information is automatically sent to VX2 in order to save you the time and trouble of submitting such information to us yourself.



If you use Audiogalaxy - and even if you don't, since it may well be included in other programs too - you might want to check this article out. Purdy interesting read, if you ask me.

I remember a thread from a few weeks ago about spyware in some other programs, but I'm pretty sure this is different.

It was very...enlightening, assuming it is true. I wouldn't know, as I don't use AG. GO WINMX!

WinMX is good too, it's like Napster if you liked that.
