Seabass here with a weekly topic from the support emails.

No we are NOT spyware.

This question gets asked very often in support. Many different types of security applications freak out upon the install of several of our applications. Some have, of late, gone so far as to not label this a "possible risk" or "Threat" but have flat out called our software a "Trojan".

Many of you Veterans of this site know as well as I what the consequence of having major protection software on your computer and running scripts can cause a major headache. This brief message is for anyone searching the web wondering why a huge red flag showed up. The true reason for this is security applications are paranoid and the normal running features of our software make them freak out faster than a Homeland Security agent that passes someone in the airport shouting "Bomb!". Not all our software works this way either so 8/10 times you will not run into this.

For the record there is no spyware, trojan, or virus installed on your computer by installing our products.

If you run into this issue in almost every case you can list Stardock software as the exception to the rule. This set of instructions cannot be legally given out by Stardock support. It would be a large problem if we were supporting what someone else created. If you don't know how to set this application in your computer I am sure you can contact the support of your security application of choice. I am certain this type of question is considered the norm.

If you have any questions or concerns you can, of course, address them here. However for situational questions we will do the best we can with a email sent to support@stardock.com.

Cheers
