WELL, I DISCOVERED A BLATENT SPYWARE PRIVACY INVASION. I FULLY support the idea of customizing my experiences based on my actions, but ONLY IF I KNOW ABOUT IT and STILL APPROVE. AT&T Broadband apparently installed Broadband Broadjump software (a program called cfd.exe.) My Firewall software discovered it . My personal tech support, Dan J Scavetta, found a forum discussing it! READ ON, MCDUFF! --kate

broadband » Forums » Charter Pipeline »" Charter installs Spyware at installation (cfd.exe) installs Spyware at installation (cfd.exe)
I the poster wrote, "just had Charter High Speed Cable Internet service installed. While the connection speed is great, I found some spyware installed on my computer after they left.

"I did a full search of my system for spyware before they came using a program called Ad-Aware which is available from www.lavasoft.nu

"Then after they left, my firewall (Zone Alarm) started to ask me about a program called cfd.exe
After some searching, I found that this programs is from Broadjump Client Foundation. It tracks the internet sites visited and catalogs them and other demographic and sales information on the computer in which it is installed and then sends this information back to the company.

"If you want to confirm this, just do a search on your system for cfd.exe and then search for the file on www.google.com

"After removing the program, I sent my compaint to Charter. I suggest you do the same.

"While I can appreciate the desire for Charter to make additional money on their service, I do not support you doing this at the expense of my privacy, especially when I am not told about it."

Saw this in my daily buddhist meditation today! Quite lovely~

"Even if you are a monk, if your practice of the Way is not intense, if your aspiration is not pure, how are you any different from a layman? Again, even if you are a layman, if your aspiration is intense and your conduct wise, why is this any diffrent from being a monk?

Say yes to the certificate question to see Pete's new car! He even took some shots of other cars, but I see the little 6k$ black Saab turbo hatchback I had my eye one isn't there. It's allcars from Formula One he had his camera eye pointing to...Okay well not the Morgan! Nice job Pete, she's a beaute!
Visit Freeducky dot org to see more of this beauty. I unlinked it for Pete's safety so "the bots won't crawl his site!"
[Editor's note: when you keep the photo linked from a remote site that site still gets crawled. In fact freeducky.org had some japan and other exciting hits!]
