Well we didn't take anything off or put anything unsolicited on - I know
that, but how do you?! I guess the trust thing is the same as when you
run a plugin in your web browser - you just hope you can trust the
company who are providing this plugin, and your browser security
settings, because the plugin has the potential to have a devastating
effect on your machine. Maybe the HotSync client on the device needs
some security settings just like browsers if this kind of thing takes
off!
