nice personal attacks, a great display of your intellect. >My first post in this thread claimed that Cringely was spreading FUD, and >had provided no evidence to back up his claim.
No your first post was this >Without seeing the content of these packets, I don't see how Cringely can >claim to know whether there's anything spyware or not about it. There is no >*evidence* for his claim. I'm always suspicious of people who claim to have >observed 'spyware phoning home' but who are then completely unable to give >any details about the contents or destination of the packets, since it means >that they are claiming something that they don't actually know at all. His only claim was that zonealarm "phones home" even when all the communication options are disabled. I can't find any claim of spyware as you indicated. His claim of a phone home bug has been vindicated by Zonelabs/Checkpoint's response to the list and the admission of the bug. Like I said before, it's up to the people on the list to decide if this is a issue for them or not. Not for a arrogant fool like you to force his opinion onto people. go ride your high horse over to [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
