    Folks,

    I would seriously think twice about downloading these "helpful" items of software, as many of them have another side to them that you won't find on the useful features blurb. There's a fair chance that it will harvest your details and send it out to unknown 3d parties - from your name and address to your surfing habits.

    I can pretty much guarantee any anti-spyware software will confirm what I'm saying above if you scan your PC after installing auto-fill software.

    I run 2 different spyware stoppers, along with Avast!. I have roboform and firefox, (occasionaly use IE if I have to). Had no complaints from any of my anti spyware about roboform.

    All of this might just be an elaborate simulation running inside a little device, sitting on someone's table.
