Watch out for a software that under disguide of an Internet Accelerator or Anti-virus benevolent activities monitors each and every possible activity you carry out on your computer.
Not only.
The software routes all of a user’s surfing destinations through its own servers. There it analyzes the data to “create research reports on internet trends and e-commerce activities”.
Even data entered on secure websites — such as passwords, credit card numbers and bank account numbers, information that is supposed to be viewable only by the sender and the intended recipient — is fully accessible to the company who has developed this software.
The weird part is that some users don’t seem to be concerned about this.
For many it is OK to consider such practices part of what is to be normally expected by Internet companies that offer free services.
