Attention audiogalaxy users

No star here laces

Apparently Audiogalaxy has been packaging a nasty piece of spyware with their satellite software all this time (and no it's not Gator or the other one that you get an option to reject). This little monster not only collects info on all the websites you visit, but also on forms filled out. In other words they know your name, your address, your email address and quite possibly the contents of any bulletin board posts and web-based emails you send.

I'll have to check this out, I do like audiogalaxy but this sorta shit just isn't on.... I'm having problems with the link is it that monkey buddy thing, he does the same thing....

edited to add, I just checked my Pc here at work and it was full of the stuff, Gator and Onflow (which was saved as part of IE) - wonder what my PC at home is like !
